The John Lewis Partnership, the UK's largest employee-owned company, announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, worth 100m quid over the next five years. The move represents a major expansion of the successful relationship it has had with Google since 2012.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the John Lewis Partnership's digital transformation of its much loved brands, John Lewis and Waitrose, and its ambitions to provide customers with even more tailored and personalised experiences.

These tools will enable the John Lewis Partnership workforce, known as Partners, to be more efficient, spend more time focusing on customers, and better use data insights to help curate great products and services.
