M&S Boss Stuart Machin’s Pay Jumped 39% to £7.1mn Ahead of Cyber Attack

  • Stuart Machin, chief executive of Marks and Spencer since 2022, received a 39% pay increase to £7.1 million for the year ending March 2025.
  • The rise in Machin's pay arose from strong performance-linked bonuses reflecting a major company turnaround and preceded a major cyber attack in April 2025.
  • M&S improved profitability and clothing and home sales returned to growth, with shares reaching a nine-year high despite heavy disruption from the cyber attack.
  • Machin’s pay included £4.6 million in long-term bonuses subject to waiting periods, £1.6 million linked to performance, and around £894,000 fixed pay, with almost 90% tied to business results.
  • The cyber attack disrupted online orders, cost an estimated £300 million, and is expected to affect M&S for weeks or months, though the company anticipates recovery and will reconsider executive pay next year.
