M&S is making potentially life-saving changes to more than 2,000 of its store fitting rooms across the UK after one of its workers was diagnosed with cancer. New signs will be rolled out to thousands of changing rooms in stores across the country with guidance on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Employee Lucy Dawson pitched the signage directly to M&S CEO Stuart Machin and it will soon be implemented in every cubicle in the women’s and lingerie fitting rooms at 110 stores. Lucy came up with the scheme while going for a bra fitting after she had gone through chemotherapy treatment.
A food team manager at M&S in Tamworth, Lucy - who was 24 when she was diagnosed - realised that there were no signs of what to look for when checking your breasts anywhere in the fitting room and thought it was the idea place to share guidance on the symptoms of breast cancer.
