Michael Marks, Founder of M&S

M&S started life almost 130 years ago when Michael Marks came to the north of England. He didn't have much money and spoke little English. Beginning as a pedlar, he worked hard and soon had enough money to open a market stall in Kirkgate Market in Leeds © M&S Company Archive
