The John Lewis Partnership is doubling down on customer loyalty, by hiring a new partnership head of loyalty role, and signing five-year contracts with customer insight firm Dunnhumby, and marketing technology business Eagle Eye Solutions Group.
The high street retailer has appointed Emily Wells as its first pan-partnership head of loyalty. She will report to John Lewis customer director Charlotte Lock.
Wells has held a number of senior partnership and proposition roles over the last five years at Tesco, most recently as head of loyalty strategy. Prior to this, Emily held commercial and strategy roles across various retail and consulting settings.
