Why did M&S decide to pull out of big ticket furniture items, I still work in the furniture manufacturing industry and remember the multi million pound turnover that was achieved with Westbridge.

We want to focus on the products our customers want to buy most, offering great value, quality and style.

Looking at growth across our home business we believe the biggest opportunity lies in Core Home where we have a fairly small market share of 4.7% but are seeing strong growth (up 40bps LY). We will expand categories like home textiles, bedding and home fragrance and stop selling larger furniture items. We will still sell some branded furniture online.
