Gamal Lewis is the People Engagement & Development Manager at John Lewis Partnership, the largest employee owned business in the UK and the most well-known too. Gamal is the guest speaker for our May 2026 knowledge share.

Those who have worked with or met Gamal will know that he is energetic and extremely people-focused – helping those around him to develop being what he enjoys most. Handy then for his business and himself that he has over 70,000 colleagues!

Gamal knows first-hand and champions directly the value in investing in people to find what they are great at. After all, the employees at a business are often the most valuable asset to that business – supporting them is a double win for the induvial and for the business.

But how has Gamal reached this role in his career? What experiences have shaped him and what wisdom can he pass on?

After Gamal has shared his journey and reflections, we’ll then divide into small breakout rooms. This is an ideal opportunity to network with your peers, ask questions, and share advice from your own experience.

Join us for our informal knowledge share if you’re an employee trustee, on an employee council, an employee owner, or from an employee owned business with a vested interest, question to ask, or best practice to share.
