Sir,

It (M/s) is abbreviation for 'Messrs' , usually used before the title of the company.

Thanks.

Not in the United Kingdom.

Even 'Messrs', when it is used with a company name is used only if that name that comprises the names of more than one person - Messrs Postule & Wormwood, for example. We would not say Messrs Postule.

Then you had better reserve it for domestic use; to me it was a mystery.
