Charlie Mayfield

A former army officer and McKinsey management consultant and under 40, Charlie leads the John Lewis Partnership which comprises the department store and Waitrose supermarkets.

He joined JLP (famously a workers' cooperative) in 2000. John Lewis has boomed in recent years with a clear brand position, strong growth of online sales, a legendary strapline (never knowingly undersold) and excellent customer service.

Likewise Waitrose has carved out a unique status in the grocery market; embracing premium food and ethical trading. With other retailers keenly eyeing up the success of both JL and Waitrose can Charlie marshal his forces to continue to build market share?
