John Smedley is pleased to announce the appointment of Jess Mcguire Dudley as Managing Director, with immediate effect. In a break with tradition, Jess is the company's first Managing Director from a creative background. Previously Deputy Managing Director and Global Brand Director, she takes over from Ian Maclean MBE, a member of the Smedley family who has worked within the John Smedley business for the past 25 years and will now step into the Executive Chairman’s role. Jess has been pivotal in transforming the marketing and sales side of the business in recent years, refreshing the brand’s image and the many ways it is visible in markets around the world. She has fiercely led on strategic plans that have given John Smedley new relevance and increased presence within the luxury knitwear sphere, from product projects and manufacturing overhauls to the reintroduction of our third-party production arm. "There is a real love between me and this business, and I am determined to ensure it thrives for decades to come. Our brand values are to be British, iconic and responsible, and I stand by this vision." — Jess Mcguire-Dudley Photography James Anastasi

DAKS x John Smedley. We are delighted to collaborate with fellow luxury British brand DAKS for Spring Summer 2025, marking the first collection in our partnership. Last year, we reopened our production lines to brands for seasonal orders and approached DAKS to join the initiative. Recognising our shared values and admiration for one another, what was initially a conversation to manufacture DAKS own product turned into a true partnership, bringing together both creative teams to create co-branded collaborative knitwear designs. The DAKS archive played a pivotal role in developing this range, reinterpreting and creating exclusive variations of two iconic DAKS styles — the House check and House stripe.

New and exclusive to John Lewis & Partners — John Smedley’s first diffusion line, JS by John Smedley. Made In England from fully-traceable, high quality merino wool, this capsule has a vibrant and youthful aesthetic, retaining the values of colour and craftsmanship that are hallmarks of the John Smedley brand. The yarns used are those which may have been previously considered archived or redundant, adding a circularity to the project by ensuring every single fibre we purchase is utilised, creating zero waste.
