“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.

Founded in 1979, Dunelm is headquartered in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. They are a home furnishings retailer with products including, beds, bedding, rugs, decor, and more.
Back in 1989 two friends decided to open the first Furniture Village store in Abingdon, Oxfordshire with a simple philosophy – to offer high quality, beautifully designed furniture at a great price with exceptional service.
Our customers seem to like it, and today we’re Britain’s largest independent furniture retailer, employing over 1000 staff, and offering 500 different furniture ranges online at www.furniturevillage.co.uk and from 59 stores nationwide. Our philosophy remains the same – and we’re still a family run business.
Our buyers are passionate about great design and travel the world to find furniture to inspire and excite our customers. We only partner with trusted furniture brands that share our absolute commitment to quality and many have been with us from the very beginning.
Everyone - from our online sales team to our delivery drivers - is committed to 'doing it right'. We've won the Furniture Industry's Retailer of the Year Award on four separate occasions, and Bed Retailer of the Year two years running.
We take pride in selling beautiful furniture that can last a lifetime and in building strong and lasting relationships with the passionate, dedicated people we work with. We welcome people who share our core values - our people are our greatest asset and every one of them is part of our family.
