Marks and Spencer Group PLC is holding an investor presentation today for institutional shareholders and analysts at which its new leadership team, led by Stuart Machin and Katie Bickerstaffe, will set out a number of strategic ambitions to reshape the business for growth, whilst increasing resilience from strengthened foundations. Against the background of adverse macro-economic conditions, M&S is increasing the pace of change to create a higher productivity business reducing costs, increasing margins and shifting volume into growth categories and channels.

The presentation for the day will be available on our corporate website at 12pm UK time at Results Reports Webcasts & Presentations | Marks & Spencer (marksandspencer.com) and a replay webcast of the event will be available later in the day. There will be no update on current trading performance or our financial results. M&S will next update the market at its interim results presentation on November 9th.
