When browsing through our website, you will come to know some familiar faces within the amazing Partner photography that features.

These Partners are from all different areas of the business and with that, comes their own unique experiences and stories. Stories they wanted to share with you.

I joined the Partnership because of the significance of the word ‘Partner.’ I had heard great things from people I knew who worked there, and I had also experienced the service first-hand as a customer. I learned about the Partnership through its career site. I knew of the Personal Stylist role promoted online and in-store, along with collaborations with Vogue and other brands that I regularly followed.

I’ve been working at John Lewis for almost a year now. During this time, I’ve gained valuable experience working with all kinds of people and assisting with their personal styling needs. I learn something new from everyone I encounter, which helps me improve for my next client and everyone I meet on the shop floor.

It’s so rewarding when they come back for the next season or book an appointment for a family member. Knowing that we’ve helped them fall in love with shopping—or at the very least, given them the armour to feel their best—makes it all worthwhile. We all have different styles, not to mention lifestyles, and express ourselves in unique ways. Being a part of their discovery and helping them embrace their individuality through dressing is what makes this role so fulfilling.

Having worked in retail, I’m grateful that I’m now able to apply my creativity in a one-on-one setting. I studied fashion photography, where styling an image and styling a person go hand in hand. It’s been great to transfer those skills into my current role, and I’m excited to see how my career will grow!

I love exploring new brands and expanding my knowledge of the fashion industry. On a personal level, things like hosting a Christmas dinner made what’s usually a hectic time in retail feel more rewarding, giving the whole team a chance to celebrate and rest.

I got involved in the photoshoot because it was a great opportunity to be in a creative environment and meet people from all parts of the Partnership. It was exciting to celebrate each of us and contribute to making the John Lewis Partnership what it is, while proudly representing the Glasgow store.
