Jobs at risk as Lincolnshire M&S store set to close

This story is over

Some 49 jobs have been put at risk in Lincolnshire as retailer Marks and Spencer has announced it proposes to close its Boston store.

This comes after announcements that the retailer, which announced a sales drop over the Christmas period, will be shutting down its unprofitable stores.

In total, 17 stores have been set for closure across the country.

Paula Varley, Marks & Spencer head of region for East Midlands, said: “Proposing to close our Boston store has not been an easy decision to make.

“Over the coming weeks we’ll be talking to each colleague individually as we go through the consultation process.

“We remain committed to our loyal customers and, if the proposal goes ahead, will continue to serve them at our Outlet in Springfields and Simply Food store in Spalding, which both offer Clothing & Home products via Click & Collect.”
