On Tuesday 22 May, Stuart Rose, Marks & Spencer’s chief executive announced the yearly results for 2006/07 : sales up 10%, profit up 30%. Not too bad actually! But what is most amazing is to hear the same day that Martha Lane Fox, who made her name in the dotcom boom as a co-founder of Lastminute.com in 1998, is joining Marks and Spencer as a non-executive director per first of June. ‘Ms Lane Fox would be a useful sounding board for the chain as it looked to expand its online business’ said Stuart Rose. M&S direct sales £160m: 60% growth online; website successfully re-launched.

Helaas heeft M&S er in ons land in 2001 het bijltje bij neergegooid (in heel 'continentaal' West-Europa trouwens). En ze hebben marksandspencer.nl niet eens geclaimd. Vreemd.
Lees net dat Lane Fox samen met haar Lastminute.com-partner begint met Mydeco.com. Sunday Times: Lane Fox, still recuperating from a near-fatal car crash three years ago, will be a part-time director, working half a day a week. This adds to a portfolio of nonexecutive roles that already includes Channel 4 and, since last week, Marks & Spencer.
