EXCLUSIVE: The John Lewis Partnership (JLP) has launched a discounted holiday and travel benefit for its 80,000 employees.

Employees can access a dedicated website through John Lewis’ company intranet site that links to discounts from Tui Travel.

Since the perk was introduced in mid-November, 1,000 employees have registered on the site. These employees were also entered into a draw to win £1,000-worth of holiday vouchers from Tui Travel.

Kay Dixon, general manager, retail websites at Tui, said: “This is completely new ground for Tui. We’ve never done anything like this before and we’re really excited about the possibilities going forward.

“Not only are we guaranteeing that the JLP prices for Thomson and First Choice Holidays won’t be beaten anywhere, we also plan to email exclusive offers and great insider tips on how to find the best offers and how to get the best value for money.”
