in 1973, Geoff Price uprooted his young family from suburban Birmingham to take up a rare opportunity to work at Marks & Spencer's Head Office in bustling Baker Street, London.
His role as a Merchandiser in one of their Buying Teams was many-sided, and worlds away from his previous jobs in the hospital service, local government and chocolate.
In Life With St. Michael Geoff gives fascinating insights about his adjustment to their processes, an unfamiliar culture and the cut and thrust of the Rag Trade. Frank and amusing, he paints a vivid picture of the commercial world of those times and the characters he met, inside and outside Marks & Spencer.
