“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.

Habitat is an iconic homeware and furniture retailer that was launched on the British high street in 1964, and has been challenging the way people style and shop for their homes ever since. Habitat continues to create good design that’s useful, affordable and distinctive. We recognise that today there are more brands than ever selling furniture, but here’s why we’re still going strong: Original design is the most important thing we do – Almost every Habitat product has been created by a Habitat designer; hours of work go into making each piece useful, beautiful and long-lasting. We reach every corner of the world – We’ve always travelled the world to find the best partners and to be inspired by how other people live. We’re committed to quality at every price point – No matter how small or how big the piece, we apply rigorous quality standards to everything we sell. We obsess over materials, finishes and construction so our customers can be confident their new product is fit for purpose, well designed and fairly priced. We’re accessible to all – We have three London showrooms, Minis across the country, a collection at 900+ stockists, and hassle-free delivery throughout the UK. We’ve been imagining life as it should be since 1964 – From the wok to the duvet, paper pendants to chicken bricks, and all our iconic catalogues in between, Habitat has had a unique and prolific impact on the way the British live. We’re always interested to hear from people who live and breathe great design, and who want to partner with or be part of a progressive and original accessories, homeware and furniture brand. So give us a shout if you’re a motivated and inspired because we like thinkers who are both commercial and creative. We’re here – just as we have been, for half a century.
