Marks Electrical boss says home appliance prices dropping

The boss of £80 million turnover Marks Electrical says household appliance prices have levelled out and even dropped due to a global glut of stock.

Mr Smithson, who floated his Leicester-based online retailer last autumn, is confident of continuing the 44 per cent growth Marks saw in the year to March 31 –on the back of 78 per cent growth a year earlier.
