The John Lewis Partnership has appointed Keith Hubber as its new general counsel and company secretary.
Hubber will join the partnership in December from BG Group where he has spent the last 13 years. Having initially joined BG Group as a corporate lawyer, from 2007 he was company secretary before he moved to the role of deputy general counsel in 2011.
At John Lewis, he will succeed Alan Buchanan who will remain in post as interim director of legal services and company secretary until the end of January 2015 to enable Hubber to have a full induction to the partnership.
Sir Charlie Mayfield, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership, said: “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.”
