- Marks & Spencer is investing in new equipment and reviewing its refrigeration systems.
- This decision follows the retailer "struggling" during the recent heatwave, which saw record high temperatures.
- Chief executive Stuart Machin confirmed that fridges in some M&S stores and foodhalls broke down due to the extreme heat.
- The upgrades are designed to enable M&S to cope with future extreme temperatures, specifically up to 45C.
- The news come as parts of the UK swelter in the summer’s third heatwave, after temperatures hit record highs for the time of year at the end of May and again at the end of June.
