Marks & Spencer, the UK's leading high street retailer,  has signed a £19m IT managed services contract to give its head office staff better access to core technology, tools and processes, as well as ensuring that end-of-life hardware is disposed of in accordance with the terms of Europe’s WEEE environment directive.

ONE OF the country’s most exclusive department stores is shelving its tradition of selling animal fur products.

Brown Thomas will initiate a "no fur" policy from February, with management insisting it was taking animal welfare into account.

Brown Thomas stores in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway will only sell synthetic fur, or leather, suede, sheepskin, and shearling.
