The Arora family's investment vehicle has completed the sale of a £234m stake in discount retail giant B&M.

SSA Investments has disposed of 40 million shares in the company, bringing its holdings down from almost 11% to just under 7%.

The seller, which is controlled by Simon and Bobby Arora, B&M's CEO and trading director respectively, first announced the move last week.
