Notes
Leon Rosselson (1975).
The John Lewis Partnership is incorporated as a PLC, but was given in trust to its workers by one of the original family owners in 1928. Its mission is set out in accordance with this extraordinary act: Our founder's vision of a successful business powered by its people and its principles defines our unique company today. The profits and benefits created by our success are shared by all our Partners. John Lewis represents a hybrid co-operative form that enshrines many of the Rochdale Principles without adopting the standard legal form of a co-operative. John Lewis remains one of the most successful and popular retailers in the UK.
