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 10-years ago (almost to the day!) as a Buying Assistant – it was my second job after Uni and my first foray into homewares. Growing up, it was always known as an iconic, successful and big time brand so getting a job here felt like a major success and I was the talk of my peers who were all job hunting at the same time.

I’ve worked my way up and learnt everything I know from John Lewis and the amazing teams I’ve worked within and the managers I’ve had – starting in Tabletop to now being in Textiles, there has been a whole load of product and brands in between that has taught me so much about buying, my working style and how we make so many different products.

I always felt new in comparison to the other Partners who had worked here for over 10 years and now I’m one of them – I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone but I do feel at home in John Lewis in a way I never quite expected.

What else I love about working here? The variety of products and the opportunities that offers, as well as the quality and ethics that are central to our sourcing & design. The flexibility I have – I work compressed hours which isn’t always possible within buying and it’s a huge benefit for my work/life balance! And then finally the discount obviously!

I agreed to be involved in the photoshoot as I thought it would be fun – like I said, I have a lot of fun at John Lewis and this was no different – it was another great way to meet so many fun and fab people across the Partnership, so I loved it!
