- Christian charity IBS-STL UK has put its
Wesley Owen catalogue/retail division, along
with wholesale business STL Distribution and

problems including the failed implementation of a new computer
system in October last year”. -

favourably to the appointment of Morrisons
chief executive Marc Bolland as chief executive of M&S
according to The Guardian. Bolland
will succeed Sir Stuart Rose as M&S chief exec early next year,
though Rose will remain chairman. - Ouch! “Royal Mail: Britain’s worst company” reads
a headline in today’s Times. - Fashion etailer Ascension-formerly
Adili-gets a nice plug from The Guardian today:
“To celebrate the launch of Ascension’s flagship ethical
flagship store in London, we’ve asked their buyer Laurella

People Tree, Komodo, and Terra Plana.”
