Sharry Cramond, marketing director at M&S Food, explained: “Our Farm to Foodhall stories have a powerful brand effect and resonate incredibly well with our customers, which is why we’re bringing the campaign back – bigger than ever.
“We hold unique relationships with our amazing farmers and growers, who we have worked with for many years. They are incredibly important to us, so it’s important that we tell their amazing stories of how we are continuing to work in partnership to deliver fantastic quality, seasonal food grown in Britain and sold in our foodhalls.”
