Talk to me about… your business
The John Lewis Partnership was founded as a vision of an industrial democracy where employees (Partners) share profit, knowledge and power. Given the economic, technological and societal pressures on the retail sector, to be able to sustain this vision into the future will require a deeper and broader focus on productivity, harnessing the ability of Partners to achieve better outcomes in terms of sales and profits per Partner than we have ever achieved before. As a senior leader in the Partnership, with responsibility for the profitability of Waitrose operations, this is a challenge I consider every day.
Talk to me about…something people may not know about you
I am at my happiest when outdoors and preferably up a mountain. I put it down to being born in the Lake District! I enjoy running, swimming and cycling through the year and usually manage to go snowboarding a couple of times a year in the winter.
