John Lewis Partnership

The John Lewis Partnership is a visionary and successful way of doing business, boldly putting the happiness of Partners at the centre of everything it does. It's the embodiment of an ideal, the outcome of nearly a century of endeavour to create a different sort of company, owned by Partners dedicated to serving customers with flair and fairness.

All 76,500 permanent staff are Partners who own 32 John Lewis shops across the UK (28 department stores and four John Lewis at home), 250 Waitrose supermarkets, an online and catalogue business, a production unit and a farm with a turnover of nearly £8.2 billion last year. Partners share in the benefits and profits of a business that puts them first.
