Jonelle – the Partnership’s first own brand launched in 1937 changing to John Lewis from 2001

Inspiring our customers with must-have products.

Being a Buyer for either John Lewis or Waitrose means you need to know our customers inside and out… anticipating not only what they want today, but what might entice them tomorrow.

But we’ll also expect you to temper innovation with pragmatism, as you’ll act as a brand custodian and need to select only those exceptional, yet commercially viable products, that will lead us on to greater success.
