Top of the Shops

Marks and Spencer is Britain’s number one clothes retailer. We are also attracting more shoppers through our doors than anyone else on the high street. They are enticed by a constantly diversifying range that now includes quality food, wine, gifts, flowers, home technology and electrical goods. We’ve a number of award winning lines, as well as boasting the third largest coffee chain in the UK. That makes our corporate incentive, reward and gift programmes more appealing than ever.

Revealing figures

Over a third of all British women and a quarter of men now shop with us for clothes and accessories. And we’ll help you attract them to your business.

Marks and Spencer is a brand that crosses boundaries.

Half of the UK's AB population shops for clothes with us, and a quarter of C2s, Ds and Es. The same is true of all age groups. With over-45s, we're the clear market leader, but 20% of 25 to 34 year-olds also shop for clothes with us. And, with 650 stores nationwide plus online and telephone shopping, we have strong penetration in every region.

All of which means we’re universally popular. So whoever you’re targeting with M&S incentives and rewards, they’re sure to love them.

The right way to do business

Modern businesses, your own probably included, are changing. They’re finding ways of working that prove profitability and responsibility aren’t mutually exclusive.

At M&S we launched Plan A in 2007. It was a commitment ‘to change 100 things over 5 years because we only have one world and time is running out.’ We have now set ourselves the even tougher target of becoming the world’s most sustainable retailer by 2015.

Plan A is based on the five pillars of Climate Change, Waste, Sustainable Raw Materials, Health and being a Fair Partner. It has allowed us to change the way we operate, develop more environmentally-friendly products and make a greater contribution to local communities. It also means your business won’t find a more responsible partner.
