Sir Charlie Mayfield, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, says: "I am delighted to welcome Keith to the Partnership. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Alan Buchanan for the excellent contribution he has made during his time as interim director of legal services.”

Alan will remain in post as interim director of legal services and company secretary until the end of January 2015, to enable Keith, who joins in December, to have a full induction to the partnership.
