The Partners' champions

To make sure the integrity of the Partnership and our democratic system remain intact in perpetuity, our founder, John Spedan Lewis, created the position of Registrar and the Partners' Counsellor monitors and upholds the integrity of the business.

Registrars

Registrars act as Ombudsmen and are responsible for ensuring that the Partnership remains true to its principles and is compassionate in its dealings with individual Partners.

Partners' Counsellor

The Partners' Counsellor monitors and upholds the integrity of the business, its values and ethics as enshrined in its constitution. He is a member of the Partnership Board and performs the role of senior independent director in his interaction with Partners as co-owners of the business. He supports the elected directors in their contribution to the Board and thereby helps underpin their independence. The Partners' Counsellor convenes meetings with the elected directors, without other executive directors being present, as appropriate and at least once each year.
