John Lewis Partnership has enticed Peter Ruis, its former fashion boss, to return, in an attempt to revive the group’s department stores business.
Ruis has more than 30 years’ experience in retail and has spent the past decade running Jigsaw, Anthropologie and most recently Indigo, the book and lifestyle retailer.
Ruis, who worked at the company between 2005 and 2013, will start next week as executive director of the John Lewis business.
