Ex-M&S boss hired to help one million young people
Over one million young individuals are neither employed nor undergoing training, and this issue imposes a significant financial burden of £125 billion on Britain annually. Keir Starmer has now brought in Marc Bolland, the former M&S boss, to lead efforts in getting these 16-24 year olds into jobs. Bolland, whose charity has helped over 200,000 young unemployed people, will convene business leaders.
