Marks & Spencer store development

Morgan Sindall is a key supplier of design and construction services to Marks and Spencer, UK-wide. Marks & Spencer has a carefully managed supply chain of main contractors and specialist suppliers and subcontractors in the key trades, such as shopfitting. The main contractors and suppliers collaborate together with Marks & Spencer in order to best meet the demands of Marks & Spencer's capital investment programme.

Morgan Sindall agreed allocation of projects with Marks & Spencer based on the availability of retail experienced project management, and agreed the best programming of resources to deliver the allocation - i.e. different teams moved from one project to the next on a pre-agreed basis. Morgan Sindall was closely involved at the outset of the store briefing process, working with Marks & Spencer's designers and cost consultants to develop schemes against target costs through carefully managed design development and cost negotiation.
