Even more Timelines to explore!

Three new additions to our Timelines page

Did you know we launched our first Petite womenswear range in 1953?

Or that we introduced lettered cup sizes to our bras (A-D) in 1969?

Or that our Staff Welfare Service provided hairdressing, subsidised staff canteens and camping holidays for employees from 1933?

We’re delighted to unveil three new timelines; Womenswear, Lingerie and Employee Welfare, packed full of fascinating insights into how these areas of M&S have evolved and changed over time.

We love feedback, so if there are any subjects that you’d like to see in timeline form just drop us a line via the Contact page and let us know.
