Marks & Spencer food sales bounce back as High Street chain recovers from cyber attack
Marks & Spencer's food sales have bounced back this summer as it recovers from a cyber attack. The High Street retailer saw a 6.7 per cent surge in takings over the three months to August 9 compared to a year earlier, according to market research firm NielsenIQ. This was a higher rate of growth than the 4.3 per cent it recorded in last month's report. After it was targeted by cyber criminals over Easter, M&S halted website and app orders while its food stocking systems were thrown into chaos, leaving shelves empty. It did not sell clothes and homeware online for almost two months and did not offer a click-and-collect service for nearly four months. This sent shoppers in the direction of competitors, including Next, which sells many of the same third-party brands online. M&S expects a £300million dent to profits this year. But boss Stuart Machin has described the hack as a 'bump in the road' and said it will not halt a revival at the business. And M&S this month retained its 3.7 per cent market share, the same slice it held a year ago. This has brought it neck and neck with rival grocer Waitrose, which increased its share from 3.7 per cent to 3.8 per cent. When the attack hit, M&S had been enjoying the fruits of a long-sought turnaround after its clothes had been deemed 'frumpy' for years. It has enticed younger shoppers by offering stylish clothing ranges, advertised by stars including Sienna Miller. And it has boosted its food ranges, with new offerings such as pistachio creme and lemon hot cross buns going 'viral' on social media. Four individuals, including three teenagers, have been bailed pending further enquiries after the cyber attack over the Easter bank holiday. The personal data of millions of customers, which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth, was stolen. Machin said: 'We are now focused on recovery, with the aim of exiting this a much stronger business.' Shares fell 0.7 per cent. End of King's reign Justin King is quitting the board of Marks & Spencer next month after six years. King (pictured) used to run the retailer's food business and was boss of Sainsbury's from 2004 to 2014. He will step down on September 10. He has been rumoured to be the frontrunner to take over as chairman of publicly owned broadcaster Channel 4. M&S chairman Archie Norman said that King, 64, 'leaves as a lifelong friend of the business'.

Almost 80 per cent of pubs and restaurants have put up prices since last year's Budget
ALMOST 80 per cent of cash-starved pubs and restaurants have put up prices since last year's Budget tax-raid on businesses, figures have revealed. More than half of hospitality firms also axed jobs to help finances, with three-quarters operating at or below 85 per cent of required capacity. 1 Industry bosses warned Britain's pubs and restaurants are being squeezed by 'unsustainable' taxes, and urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to relax taxation on the sector in the upcoming Budget. The survey of members of the British Institute of Innkeeping, the British Beer & Pub Association, UKHospitality and Hospitality Ulster found 79 per cent of operators have increased prices as a direct result of rises to costs in April. Meanwhile, 73 per cent have less than six months of cash reserves, with one in five having none at all. It comes after Ms Reeves raised employers' National Insurance contributions, as well as the national minimum wage, in the last Budget. Many pubs were also hit by changes to discounts on business rates. In a joint statement, the trade bodies said tax hikes were forcing businesses 'to make impossible decisions to cut jobs, put up prices, reduce opening hours and limit the support they want to give their communities'. PENSION 'GAP' gender pay gap, analysis has revealed. They are shortchanged by £7,600 a year, the TUC reports, while the Prospect union says they get 36.5 per cent less than men. The Government has revived the Pension Commission to look into the causes. How to protect your pension and Inheritance from the new Budget TUC boss Paul Nowak said: 'We must make sure these inequalities are addressed.' AIR PAY STRIKE WORKERS at aircraft maker Airbus will stage a series of strikes over pay. About 3,000 Unite members will walk out for ten days next month. The union warned the strikes would hit production of wings for Airbus's commercial and military aircraft. Its members are based in Broughton, North Wales, and Filton, near Bristol. General secretary Sharon Graham said: 'Workers deserve a fair deal.' IT'S A REALLY TOP SHOP TOPSHOP has picked a luxury department store for its High Street return. Liberty in London's West End will stock its AW25 collection from next Thursday. Shoppers have been unable to buy the brand in-person since 2020, when all Topshop stores were shuttered as its owner went bust. Topshop teased its return online with a short video featuring the building's mock-Tudor façade. Liberty merchandising director Lydia King called the partnership 'really exciting', highlighting the nostalgia around Topshop's heyday.

Revealed: The summer meeting with key Arsenal duo which convinced Eberechi Eze to join the Gunners as they hijack Spurs bid to land Palace star
Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace to dramatically hijack Tottenham 's move for Eberechi Eze in a deal worth around £60million - and it has now emerged that the player has been sold on joining the Gunners since a meeting with key club figures last month. Spurs have been in negotiations with Palace over Eze for the past 10 days as they tried to agree a move worth £55million plus add-ons. However, after Kai Havertz suffered a knee injury, the Gunners' need for another attacker saw them turn to Eze. Arsenal had earmarked signing the 27-year-old England international earlier in the window and knew they were his preferred destination but, following their £63m outlay on Viktor Gyokeres, they had wanted to concentrate on outgoings before adding another left-sided attacker. But with Havertz set to be absent for an extended period, after suffering his injury in Arsenal's win at Manchester United on Sunday, the Gunners acted to steal Eze from under the nose of their fierce rivals. Sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta met Eze last month, and he was sold on the idea of moving to the Gunners but an offer failed to materialise at that time. Make your 7 picks by 12.30pm every Saturday to win £1,000* *18+, excludes NI. Terms and conditions apply Eze's release clause of £60m, plus £8m in bonuses, lapsed last week. Daily Mail Sport understands Spurs agreed to Palace's demands on Wednesday and also agreed terms with Eze. At that stage, the player was keen to finalise the move. However, Palace are understood to have insisted Eze remain available for their Conference League play-off first leg against Norwegian side Fredrikstad on Thursday night. Arsenal then stepped in on Wednesday afternoon. Tottenham moved for Eze after James Maddison was ruled out for the majority of the season with a serious knee injury. Talks had been progressing but stalled as Palace scrambled for a suitable replacement, with Spurs even understood to have proposed offering forward Richarlison as part of the deal to help negotiations progress. But with Eze now expected to choose Arsenal, Spurs' inability to close the deal will prompt further criticism from fans, after the club missed out on Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White this summer. There is dismay at Tottenham at how things have unfolded, but a belief that there is little more that they could have done. The club remain interested in Manchester City winger Savinho and Brentford's Yoane Wissa but both clubs are reluctant to sell. Eze has been training with Palace ahead of tonight's game, along with Liverpool target Marc Guehi. Speaking on Wednesday afternoon, boss Oliver Glasner said: 'They will play a crucial part for as long as they're here.'
