Steve Rowe, CEO of M&S commented that he was disappointed with the food section of the business. Under the new management system he wants to transform the supply chain to simpler, lower cost and more customer focused. With a key focus on food quality, provenience and taste, they are planning on doing a range review and a category reset across fresh food, ready meals and grocery.
The NFU will be monitoring the progress and the changes which take place at M&S in their half year trading figures and into the future. The Food Chain team will be meeting with M&S at the Royal Welsh Show to discuss their future plans for agriculture.
