what some of our Partners have to say...

John Barker

MEAT & FISH SPECIALIST,
SHEFFIELD
"It's not just any
fish counter - it's my fish counter
because I'm a Partner in this
business. If it doesn't look great,
it reflects on me. If I succeed and
take pride in what I do, then the
business succeeds. It's that simple.
"Every piece of fish has been laid
on the ice with care, passion and pride
because I believe there is no better fish
that my guests can buy, and it's my
mission to make them feel the same."

Vanessa Hunt

TEAM MANAGER,
MAIDENHEAD
"I joined the John
Lewis Partnership when I was 20
- I'd recently left college and felt
unsure of what my future held. All
I knew is that I wanted to learn
about business and I wanted to
learn about working with food.
"I could never have imagined
that this decision would result in
a 20-year career in food service
and a love for great food, which
has become my passion.
"Food is a great conversation
starter - food can build bridges like
nothing else. We are shaped by the
food we eat as children, by the places
we visit, and the memories it brings.
"As a leader and trainer, I love
the opportunity I have to help
others find their passion for food.
I feel enormously proud of the
commitment to our part-time
Partners. I can't begin to explain the
joy I feel when a 16-year-old who
only eats mild cheddar becomes so
knowledgeable about cheese that
they purchase cheeses to make their
family a Christmas cheese board!"

Joanne
Bressington

TEAM MANAGER,
THAME
"I enjoy the interaction I have with our
guests. I have been a Partner for 18
years and have gained a huge amount
of knowledge while working in Food
Service & Hospitality department,
which is really useful to share with our
guests on the product range. Having
the ability to offer tastings to guests
is a great way to open discussions."

Charlotte Spry

PARTNER, EXETER
"Working in the café, no
two days are the same.
The café is like being part of a family
and working in that environment gives
me a great sense of satisfaction when
customers love the service we provide.
Being around people who want to
make a difference is important to me."

Lexie Bisley

PARTNER, READING
"I love the diversity of
the role that allows me
to be creative and you can make a
guests day that little bit better by
treating each guest as an individual."

Tom Thorton

PARTNER AND BARISTA
FINALIST 2018, SUDBURY
"I have a huge
responsibility being Group Barista
of the Year Champion and need to
live up to expectations. Good service
is about good knowledge of coffee,
how to prepare your milk, pour your
passion into every cup, providing the
best products. The more excited you
are, the more excited your customers
will be - and a good pattern on
top of their coffee doesn't hurt!"
