John Lewis Branches at High Wycombe and Reading recently ran seperate launch events for their newly elected Partner Forum members.Toojays were invited by High Wycombes Managing Director, Tony Wheeler and Readings Managing Director, Gordon Stenton to facilitate their respective events this month.

The Forum members will be responsible for driving the future of the branches, working with the Senior Management to help identify and focus attention on key branch issues. The Forum members have all been elected into the roles from their fellow partners (staff).The events were a combination of developing awareness of the competion, team building and understanding the business for the 120 attendees.

Jon Pulford, Matt Martyn and Toojays MD, Lee Martin were involved in facilitating development sessions and activities to focus the groups on the behaviours required in order to make the Forum process a success.The events were a great success, with attendees commenting on their enjoyment and the value they got from the days.
