Direct Services
On 3 October 2006, the Partnership launched a direct services company named Greenbee. Greenbee provided travel, leisure and financial services. Initially, the company offered home, travel, wedding and events insurance as well as a travel and tickets service. It subsequently expanded to offer other services including car and pet insurance, insurance for second homes and broadband Internet access. In late 2010 Greenbee was absorbed into the John Lewis brand and insurance services are now offered under the John Lewis Insurance brand. Broadband and telephone services will continue to be provided by John Lewis.

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or services:
“You see how this House of Commons has begun to verify all the ill prophecies that were made of it—low, vulgar, meddling with everything, assuming universal competency, and flattering every base passion—and sneering at everything noble refined and truly national. The direct tyranny will come on by and by, after it shall have gratified the multitude with the spoil and ruin of the old institutions of the land.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
