I was assigned a project to look at the Carbon Footprint of the Partnership and the vision for the future around its reduction. I delivered my findings 3 months later and took up a permanent role as a Project Manager working in Victoria (our old John Lewis Head Office).<\/p>\n<p>This was a fantastic opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the Partnership and the challenges that retail was facing. Online shopping was very much in its infancy and the adaptation of our shops was just beginning. After several years in the Supply Chain Development Team I moved back to the Transport Team, now based at Magna Park, which is my current role.<\/p>\n<p>I have been fortunate to work with some amazing Partners and I&#8217;ve taken the opportunity to be involved with many of the clubs and societies that align with my life outside work. This is something I have not taken for granted and have been able to involve my wife and children in activities that they may not have been able to do otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-24.avif\" alt=\"Jerry in the mountains snowboarding with the John Lewis Partnership's Ski and Snowboard club. \" class=\"wp-image-4047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-24.avif 480w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-24-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"1010,1011,1012,1013,1014,1015","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"partner-story-category":[193],"personalisation-category":[288],"class_list":["post-4046","partner-story","type-partner-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","partner-story-category-distribution-stories","personalisation-category-distribution"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jerry&#039;s Story - John Lewis Partnership Careers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read about Jerry&#039;s career journey as a Transport Department Manager.
