“The Partnership’s ultimate purpose is the happiness​ of all its members, through their ​worthwhile and satisfying employment​ in a ​successful​ business. Because the Partnership is owned in Trust for its members, they share the ​responsibilities​ of ownership as well as its ​rewards​ - ​profit, knowledge and power.” We’re the John Lewis Partnership, a continuing experiment to create a better way of doing business. We’re driven by the extraordinary vision and values of our founder, John Spedan Lewis, who created our model of co-ownership almost 100 years ago. He believed businesses would be more successful if employees were at the centre of everything they did. And because of his vision, we’re more than employees. We’re owners. And that’s why we’re called Partners. The Partnership is the UK’s largest employee-owned business and home to our two cherished retail brands - John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners. Everything we do is powered by our unique purpose, which puts the happiness of Partners at our core through worthwhile and satisfying employment. Every one of us is committed to inspiring and delighting our ​customers​ through quality products, great quality food and outstanding service because for us, it's personal.

We’ve been making impeccably stylish, beautifully designed products, principally in white, for over 25 years. Think style not fashion, quality not quantity and an attention to detail that extends through everything we do – from the hand-stitching on a luxurious high thread-count pillowcase to our second-to-none customer service. We believe it’s the little things that matter. Precious moments of uncomplicated happiness are our constant inspiration and it is with those in mind that we design and create edited collections made to last and become an intimate part of our lives. We spend time developing our product ranges and put the same care and attention to detail into selecting the best people to join our growing and innovative business. From retail stores and ecommerce to Buying & Merchandising, quality experts, our support services, qualified accountants and visual/creative experts - The White Company inspires passion from all its people, and a genuine commitment to each other.

We believe that homes should be as original as the people living inside. Contemporary design isn’t just about staying ahead of the curve. We’re just as dedicated to making responsible choices; harnessing more sustainable materials and championing the latest practices and innovations. We believe that original design comes down to getting every detail just right. The placement of seams, the precise angle of an armrest, the texture of a fabric – none of it escapes our attention. Alongside our talented in-house team, we collaborate with independent designers and makers to create statements. And that’s not limited to our products. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and challenging convention in everything we do – from our furniture, to our events and installations.
