Our company

Our company

The John Lewis Partnership is the UK’s largest employee owned business. We started as an experiment in industrial democracy by our Founder, John Spedan Lewis, who believed there was a better way of doing business. Because of this we’re more than employees, we’re owners. That’s why we’re called Partners.
