‘We can’t rest on our laurels’: John Lewis’s top marketer on transforming the business

John Lewis was once the darling of a booming high street, but as consumers shift their attention towards online retail, both have seen their fortunes turn. Last year John Lewis notched up a £517m pre-tax loss, and permanently shuttered eight of its stores.
