Business Areas
When our founder, John Spedan Lewis, set up the Partnership, he was careful to create a governance system, set out in the company's Constitution, that would be both commercial - allowing the company to move quickly and maintain a leading position in a competitive industry, and democratic - giving every Partner a voice in the business they co-own.
This combination of commercial acumen and corporate conscience, so ahead of its time, is what makes us the business we are today. A business that consists of four main areas: John Lewis department stores, Waitrose supermarkets, our direct services company Greenbee, and Head Office.
Across these business areas we offer a huge variety of jobs and careers, from sales assistants to journalists, from chefs to lawyers, and from delivery drivers to architects.
