Sales increased by 19% reaching £324.4 million and are expected to hit £500 million by the end of 2010/2011 and the M&S online clothing market share increased to 5.3% from 4.5% (Fashiontrak). They also launched international delivery with sales of M&S lingerie in France and home furnishings in Spain soaring after the launch of their international delivery service in November 2008.
