Marks and Spencer are celebrating the achievements of the woman who led the opening of the new Leeds White Rose megastore.
Justine Brook, a seasoned retail professional with over 30 years of service to M&S, is at the helm of one of the retailers biggest stores to-date, a 97,000 sq ft store and brand new digital café design – the first to be rolled out in the UK. Although the new store opened to customers in May, Justine had been working on the opening for many months prior.
” Justine is part of a group of six women leading M&S’s five biggest new store openings in 2023, with each member of the formidable team running stores in three of the country’s most popular shopping centres – Leeds White Rose, Manchester’s Trafford Centre, and the Lakeside Centre in Essex. In addition to her day-to-day role, Justine is also the Co-Chair for the M&S Gender Equality Network and advocates for improved work-life options.
