M&S Giltbrook Opens Doors And Welcomes Customers

Marks & Spencer has opened its newest store in Nottingham. The 120-strong team are there to welcome customers, helping them get everything they need.

Located in Giltbrook Shopping Park, the new store is led by Store Manager, Martin Kirkpatrick, who has worked for M&S for 14 years. Now open, the M&S team will be working hard to offer the community the very best service, drawing on M&S’s 135 years of serving the British public.

To help celebrate the opening and relaunch of Sparks, M&S’s customer loyalty scheme, the team treated seven customers over seven days to their shopping, totally for free. One recipient was chosen at random each day, and whatever was in the trolley was complimentary!

Store Manager, Martin Kirkpatrick, said: “We’re delighted to open our new store in Giltbrook, Nottingham. All our measures are in place to support customers, so they can shop with peace of mind. It’s brilliant to be open and welcome the community – chatting with customers, it’s fantastic to see them get excited about our new food products, the latest in Clothing & Home collections as well as shop for all the essentials.”

“I’d like to say a big thank you to the team, who have been amazing getting the store ready. We’re all so excited to be part of the community and can’t wait to get to know locals better.”

Denise Holme was one of the first customers to step inside this morning and comments: “I live locally and I go shopping at M&S for my food at least two times a week, sometimes three! I’m actually an ex-employee of M&S, and have worked at four different stores, so I’m really thrilled M&S has come to the Giltbrook Shopping Park.”

The very first customer into the store was Mr Pynegar, who comments: “It is a fantastic store and a really good idea to open M&S at Giltbrook Retail Park. I’ll definitely be coming to shop here regularly as there is absolutely everything here!”

M&S Giltbrook offers thousands of M&S’s quality and great value food products, from daily essentials and fresh produce from M&S Select Farms, to dinner favourites and ready-to-go family meals. For those looking for the newest in Clothing inspiration, shoppers visiting the store will be able to browse the Summer collections, designed to elevate every-day style from the Goodmove activewear collection to the popular denim ranges. Visitors will also be able to view the latest elegant and colorful home accessories to brighten up and refresh all around the home.

Special Offer 20% OFF As a special offer for Made readers we are giving 20% discount when you quote “Made” on booking a wardrobe edit. Offer expires 31/12/2020.

Conscious Closet launched their styling and wardrobe edit business to build a “conscious community” for a more sustainable future.

New brand Conscious Closet co-founders Sarah Rockley and Lisa Holland have a combined experience of 40 years within fashion - working with leading brands such as Burberry, Mulberry, Victoria Beckham, Ghost and high street giants MandS and Next. This puts them in good stead to understand the workings of this amazing industry.

From the fabrics that make your clothing to the garment design, manufacturing, merchandising and branded retailing, they certainly have their fingers on the pulse of styling trends and shopping habits. Sarah and Lisa joined forces in 2018 to organise successful clothes “Swishing” events in their local town Southwell. This was organised as a reaction to the waste and environmental impact that the fashion industry creates. “We both saw the actual physical waste from our respective careers and felt it was time to act and educate” said Lisa.

“Our events were a mix of girly get togethers, environmental talks and fashion styling, then on to the clothes swap. It has been great to see and hear people’s reactions and to see them wearing their new outfits”.

Due to the success and positive feedback of these events Sarah and Lisa felt there was a gap in the market to help people streamline their wardrobes. “During lockdown it’s become clear that we all have too much stuff and for some its overwhelming. We want to give you the organised closet you’ve always dreamt about - men included!” said Sarah.

“We set up Conscious Closet to help people make informed decisions about what they buy and what they wear. To help you style outfits easily and give confidence to work with the clothes you have. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t go shopping because who doesn’t like a new outfit but just to be more mindful with your buying choices. As working mums we are fully aware of current safety regulations and we can offer virtual consultations and delay visits if needed”.

As well as wardrobe cleansing we also offer personal styling. Gift vouchers are available to treat that special someone in your life and valid for one year.
