Have you heard of #StraightToStuart? It’s our award-winning colleague suggestion scheme which allows our 65,000 colleagues to submit their ideas for improving M&S straight to our CEO Stuart Machin. To date, around 500 ideas have been given a YES and subsequently implemented around the business, helping to make M&S a better place to work and shop. One of the latest ideas came from Ben Hunter, who spotted an opportunity to improve our Back to School campaign whilst working in-store getting closer to customers. After noticing how many parents would hold up a pair of school trousers next to their child to see how they look for size, Ben suggested introducing a dedicated measuring chart to help customers pick out the right size. This was given a YES, and these charts are now live in 251 stores across the UK as part of our new Back to School Fit Zones! Well done Ben for helping make M&S a better place to shop for our customers! #NotJustAnySuggestionScheme
