  • John Lewis Partnership
    SUBISSION FROM JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP Overview 1. The John Lewis Partnership welcomes the opportunity to submit written evidence to the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee’s inquiry into innovation and productivity in social enterprises and employee owned businesses. 2. The Partnership is the largest employee-owned business in the UK. All 88,700 permanent staff are Partners who own 46 John Lewis shops across the UK, 346 Waitrose supermarkets, an online and catalogue business, waitrose.com, johnlewis.com, a production unit, a farm and a financial services arm. The business has annual gross sales of over £10bn. In Scotland the Partnership operates 3 John Lewis shops, 7 Waitrose supermarkets and a contact centre. 3. John Spedan Lewis, son of our Founder, John Lewis, was inspired by the desire to innovate and improve the capitalist system. In 1914 he had the opportunity to put his principles into practice when his father gave him control of Peter Jones, a small shop trading on Sloane Square in London. The young Spedan promised his staff that when the shop became profitable they would share in these profits, the first step in his long- term plan to turn his employees into Partners. He fulfilled this promise just 5 years later when every member of staff received the equivalent of 5 weeks of extra pay. Ten years later, he created a trust to take over the assets of the company and run it as a Partnership thus creating our modern co owned business in 1929. Spedan created a second irrevocable trust in 1950 when complete ownership was transferred to Partners working in the business.

  • John Lewis Shops to Close Temporarily
    John Lewis plc makes the following announcement for John Lewis Partnership plc, the ultimate holding company of John Lewis plc News release 21 March 2020 JOHN LEWIS SHOPS TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY The John Lewis Partnership has taken the difficult decision to temporarily close all of its 50 John Lewis shops at close of business on Monday 23 March as a result of the impact of Coronavirus. Johnlewis.com will continue to operate as normal, alongside Waitrose shops and waitrose.com. This will be the first time in the 155-year history1 of the business that it will not open its shop doors for customers. As a consequence, Waitrose food offers within department stores at Watford, Southampton and Bluewater will also close but johnlewis.com - which generates half the brand’s business - will continue to operate as normal, alongside waitrose.com. Customers can choose to have orders delivered to their home, or to Click & Collect from their local Waitrose. The food halls within John Lewis Oxford Street and Waitrose shops which share premises with John Lewis space at Kingston, Ipswich, Stratford, Horsham, Basingstoke and Canary Wharf will remain open, along with all other Waitrose branches and Waitrose.com grocery deliveries. Chairman Sharon White, said: “The welfare of our customers, communities and Partners is always our absolute priority. While it is with a heavy heart that we temporarily close our John Lewis shops, our Partners will, where possible, be taking on important roles in supporting their fellow Partners, providing critical services in Waitrose shops and ensuring our customers can get what they need through johnlewis.com, which is seeing extremely strong demand.

  • Corporate Heritage Brand Identity, Customer Experience and Satisfaction: the Case Study of John Lewis Partnership Ammar Abdellat
    Corporate Heritage Brand Identity, Customer Experience and Satisfaction: The Case Study of John Lewis Partnership A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ammar Abdellatif Taha Sammour Brunel Business School Brunel University London December 2017 Abstract Purpose: This research studies the relationship between corporate heritage brand identity and customer satisfaction of John Lewis Partnership (JLP) which is one of the most successful British retail heritage brands internationally. It conceptualizes and addresses the key factors of corporate heritage brand identity including brand price, quality, design, and symbol. It examines the corporate heritage brand experience of JLP customers through which corporate heritage brand identity influences customer satisfaction. It also establishes the moderating role of brand innovation, word of mouth and multiple time dimensions on these relationships. Design/methodology/approach: A conceptual framework of corporate heritage brand identity is developed from the literature review. To improve the validity of this study, semi-structured interviews were carried out with JLP managers, senior partners and their loyal customers recommended by JLP. These interviews have verified and advanced the hypotheses informed from the reviewed literature. This study mainly adopts the quantitative survey research method approach to test the conceptual framework. An online questionnaire was sent to JLP customers through social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Off-line paper-based survey questionnaires were collected from customers in JLP stores located in five cities in the UK (London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester and Southampton). In total, a sample of 596 clean questionnaire responses were collected and used for this study to test the developed hypotheses.
