John Lewis invites British firms to buyers' showcase

John Lewis is my favorite retail brand, after doing a placement with them early this year i got a real understanding of the company and how they work. I also got an insight into how much the company supports the local area, they are in and how they really encourage their staff to be the best they can be.

They also support one of my main concerns within the retail business which is, Uk manufacturing and training of the Uk work force in the basics of the Uks unique way of manufacturing.  John Lewis has arranged for British manufactures in both fashion and footwear to come to their head office and showcase their work and 'inspire' their buyers to think more about Uk sourcing.
