The plan to return M&S to growth has remained the same
over the last three years. This paid off in 2006/07 with
strong results across the business. Our job now is to
consolidate this progress as we move towards achieving
growth for the long term. We’re confident we can do this,
but the year ahead is undoubtedly a critical one for us.
