The John Lewis Partnership is the UK’s largest employee owned business. We started as an experiment in industrial democracy by our Founder, John Spedan Lewis, who believed there was a better way of doing business. We are owned in Trust by over 74,000 Partners. Because of this we’re more than employees, we’re owners. That’s why we’re called Partners.
John Lewis began trading over 150 years ago in 1864 on London’s Oxford Street. We now have 34 John Lewis shops plus one outlet and 329 Waitrose shops across the UK, along with johnlewis.com and waitrose.com. We also have two international sourcing offices, a soft furnishings factory, various distribution centres, three Waitrose & Partners cookery schools, a content production hub, heritage centre and our own Waitrose & Partners farm. We also offer a range of financial products from Home Insurance to Foreign Currency and our credit card, the Partnership Card through John Lewis Finance.
Our Purpose promise is “Working in Partnership for a Happier World” Part of this purpose is that we champion the role our Partnership can play in advancing the happiness of the communities we work with and the wellbeing of society.
