Sacha Berendji, retail, operations and property director at M&S, said: “Proposing to close stores is never easy, for our colleagues, customers or the local community, but it is vital for the future of M&S. Where we have closed stores, we are continuing to see an encouraging number of customers choosing either nearby locations and shopping on M&S.com.”
