Marks & Spencer Group said it will start a recruitment drive to hire 10,000 workers for the Christmas season, 40% ahead of last year’s figure to improve customer service on the shop floor.
The British retailer said Monday that workers are expected to start from Nov. 19, and will be assigned a variety of roles across the U.K.
“Christmas colleagues also play in integral role in delivering M&S’ Christmas food-to-order service, ensuring millions of customers get their all-important festival essentials and treats on time,” the company said.
Shares at 0951 GMT were up 2.2 pence, or 1%, at 217.6 pence.
