LONDON (Reuters) - Kate Bostock, the head of Marks & Spencer (MKS.L) non-food business, including clothing, is poised to leave the high street retailer, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

Bostock's departure from Britain's biggest clothing retailer could be announced at M&S's annual meeting on July 10, or possibly sooner, several people familiar with the situation were cited as saying.

Marks & Spencer could not be reached for immediate comment.

M&S chief executive Marc Bolland is looking for a replacement for Bostock, several people familiar with the situation are cited as saying.

Bostock's expected departure is another blow for M&S after Richard Price, head of men's wear, left the business last week.
