Meet the Team
Our Support
Mentorship
It’s important to us that our new colleagues feel supported in their roles and can learn from each other. That’s why we offer mentorship through our buddy system.
Flexible working
We’re a 24/7 business and our working patterns adapt to our customers’ needs. Worklife is our flexible working policy that gives colleagues the option for part-time working, a 4-day compressed week, or to job share if it’s in the best interests of everyone.
The great joy of my life as a manager is that I can coach people and help them grow. I had some fantastic line managers myself: they believed in me and would sometimes nudge me out of my comfort zone to see what I could achieve. I hope I do the same for my team.
I started with M&S as a Customer Assistant at the age of 19, and ever since then, I’ve continued to progress. Now I’m the Deputy Store Manager for one of our Academy stores, managing over 200 people. What I like the most about my role is learning new things and sharing that knowledge with the team, so they can work to the best of their ability and be high achievers.
