Every week, Shop Talk brings you the latest news from our branches. Partners report on everything from in-store events and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to how they're going to extra mile on customer service or running the extra mile for charity.

The John Lewis Partnership is a visionary and successful way of doing business, boldly putting the happiness of Partners at the centre of everything it does.

It's the embodiment of an ideal, the outcome of nearly a century of endeavour to create a different sort of company, owned by Partners dedicated to serving customers with flair and fairness.
