UK’s M&S seeks to turbocharge online sales with guest clothes brands
Britain’s Marks & Spencer said on Thursday it would launch a wave of guest clothing brands on its website this spring, including Hobbs, White Stuff, Joules and Sloggi, in bid to accelerate online growth.

It said other brands coming online through March, April and May would be:…
