The UK giant said it was selling its 301 stores in Poland to Danish retailer Salling Group for a net total of GBP 165 million (PLN 819 m).

He added: "Today’s announcement allows us to focus in the region on our business in Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, where we have stronger market positions with good growth prospects.”
