Marks & Spencer (M&S) has announced a pay rise for more than 40,000 of its staff, marking the second salary increase this year as the retailer responds to cost-of-living concerns.

The firm's minimum hourly wage currently stands at £10 after a bump up from £9.50 back in April, and will increase again to £10.50 from October 1.

These changes bring them well above the national minimum wage, and cost the business around £15 million. The retail giant will also hand a £250 M&S voucher to 4,500 employees at pre-management levels in its stores and support centres.

Staff at M&S are entitled to a number of benefits, including free everyday food items and sanitary products all-year round, the firm said.
