John Lewis has appointed James Prince as Head of branch at its department store in Leeds, set to open in autumn 2016. John Lewis will invest 37 million pounds (53.1 million dollars) in the 255,000 square foot department store, one of the largest outside London.

James Prince will lead the team of 550 people. He is currently head of branch at John Lewis Sheffield, but has lived in Leeds for the past four years. He started his John Lewis career eight years ago as an operations manager at John Lewis Liverpool, and prior to his current role he opened the first John Lewis at home shop in Poole as the branch manager.

Over the last two years Prince has also been Chair of the Sheffield BID Board and will remain in post until a Chair of the newly elected BID Board has been selected. “Leeds is my home and I'm incredibly passionate about this city. I can't wait to recruit a new team of Partners and reveal the shop to our customers in the autumn of 2016,” he said.

John Lewis Leeds will be the third store to open in Yorkshire featuring more than 350,000 products across fashion, home and technology.
