AN EMPLOYEE at Newport's Marks and Spencer café has recently celebrated her 40th year working for the high-street retailer.
Debbie Knightson-Jenkins first joined M&S in 1982 and has since worked in a range of areas, from the café to bra fitting.
Last month, Ms Knightson-Jenkins travelled to London to join M&S colleagues from across the country, all of whom were celebrating milestone anniversaries, where they were celebrated by co-chief executive Kate Bickerstaffe.
M&S has been part of many special memories for Ms Knightson-Jenkins over the last 40 years, including meeting her now-husband Phil Jenkins in the old Newport store. The couple have now been married for 20 years.
And that’s not the only link she has to M&S - her mother also worked for the retailer before having children.
