I have this in differing savings accounts not doing much due to low interest rates.

Anyone got any advice on how I can best work this money (at zero risk)? All advice gratefully received.

Does that actually exist?

How long are you willing to lock your cash away for?

M&S is doing a 4% bond which is backed by HSBC. You can take the money out early but I think there's a £100 penalty.
