M&S clothing director Jo Jenkins has announced her departure from the retailer just weeks ahead of the crucial Christmas trading period.
She leaves her role as director of clothing and beauty after just six months in the role, having four years at the retailer in various role including director of lingerie and womenswear. Ms Jenkins will now take on the role of chief executive at fashion rival White Stuff.
An M&S spokesperson said: “We’re delighted for Jo – she’s been a real talent here at M&S, which is reflected in the progress she has made both professionally and for the business.
“Becoming CEO at a company like White Stuff is a natural next step for her. We wish her all the very best with her new role.”
