Re-connect with former colleagues on The M&S Alumni Network!

We all know that when you work for M&S you become part of an incredible, diverse family of colleagues. It’s a place we all feel proud to be a part of, and that connection never stops, even when you move on…

Through the Your M&S Pension Saving Plan, we have a huge community of former colleagues out there who are still passionate about the business – supporting us when we get it right and telling us when we get it wrong!

So, M&S has launched a new digital platform that enables you to connect with your former work colleagues and friends, get special updates on what’s going on and provide a space for you to share your stories. Whether you’d like to reminisce over Archive content or attend guest speaker sessions, there really is something for everyone.

There will also be opportunities for you to get involved with initiatives and activities across the business. Whether that’s supporting recruitment or asking for your support as mentors, your views on new products or helping us with our Plan A community work. M&S would love to keep you up to date with its transformation.

Managing your savings in uncertain times

We’re experiencing tough economic conditions, right now. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising cost of living means that many people are naturally concerned about their finances. The invasion of Ukraine and its effect on global products and commodities has also led to investment market turbulence.
