I've been stalling on doing this, but I felt the time had come to update my LinkedIn. 3 weeks ago, our beloved business, eve sleep went into administration, and was bought by the lovely people Bensons for Beds . For anyone out there who's gone through the horrendous process of systematically dismantling everything that you've spent a significant part of your life building, poured your heart and soul in to, you'll know how hard that is. Made all the harder because of the huge pride we felt in the business we'd built, in each other, our products, and the delight we offered our customers at every touchpoint. However, despite the pain of the past 6 months, our pride has remained. Through the most challenging professional period of our lives, this incredible eve sleep team continued to support, care for and encourage each other, remaining awe-inspiring in their passion, optimism and comitment, right to the end. When we set out to build eve into the world's first sleep wellness company, we set out to create an environment that would lay down a gauntlet to other businesses, and a benchmark in people's minds as to what a great place to work felt like. A place of challenge, support, creativity, inclusion, a place where the work felt meaningful, where the individual and all they can bring was valued and encouraged to thrive, and where the importance of happiness and optimism in daily life was enshrined in our values. A workplace that made sure you slept well every night, even Sunday. So thank you all, team eve, for your love, laughter and loyalty. You're a goddamned brilliant bunch.'
