Marks & Spencer is taking action across its stores to cope with extreme heat (Alamy/PA) -

Marks & Spencer has said it is taking action across its food stores to cope with extreme heat of up to 45C, after “struggling” in last month’s searing temperatures.

Chief executive Stuart Machin told shareholders at the chain’s annual general meeting in London that fridges in some of the firm’s stores and foodhalls broke down because of the recent heatwave.
