About Waitrose & Partners
Waitrose & Partners has 348 shops in England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands, including 61 convenience branches, and another 27 shops at Welcome Break locations. It combines the convenience of a supermarket with the expertise and service of a specialist shop - dedicated to offering quality food that has been responsibly sourced, combined with high standards of customer service.
Waitrose & Partners exports products to more than 50 countries worldwide and has nine shops which operate under licence in the Middle East. Our omnichannel business includes the online grocery service, Waitrose.com, as well as specialist online shops including waitrosecellar.com for wine and waitroseflorist.com for plants and flowers.
Waitrose & Partners became part of the John Lewis Partnership in 1937. At that point, there were just ten shops.
The people who work for Waitrose & Partners are co-owners of the business and the notion of longer-term partnership is also extended to farmers and growers. At the heart of the supply chain are its producer groups that operate across livestock, milk, farmed fish, fruit and vegetable categories.
At Waitrose, we believe in championing British produce, treading lightly on the environment, supporting responsible sourcing and treating people fairly. We believe that everything we do goes into everything you taste. This is our way of doing business and we call it The Waitrose Way. Read more at www.waitrose.com

PRINCIPLE ONE - “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.”
Creating a culture of diversity & inclusionWe positively celebrate diversity & inclusion in the John Lewis Partnership. Truly embracing individuals’ contributions, regardless of their age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, social background, religion or belief. Having a diverse and inclusive culture throughout the business is vital for our future success and that’s why it is at the heart of our ultimate purpose; the happiness of all our Partners.

As co-owners we all have a share in the business and a shared commitment to go above and beyond for each other and our customers.
We have a set of five values that were created by Partners, for Partners, to explain what it means to be a Partner and what makes a great one. They also guide our commitment to empower all Partners who work here, whichever part of the business they work in, and drive our ‘For us, it’s personal’ promise to our customers.

In October 2020 we unveiled our five-year, self-funding, Partnership Plan. It positions Waitrose and John Lewis as the go-to brands for customers who want quality, value and sustainability and was the result of seven months' work, where we listened to feedback from more than 10,000 customers, over 100 suppliers and local community groups and 12,000 Partners, who submitted more than 650 ideas.
And who is at the heart of this plan... our Partners of course.
