‘ that there seems to be no easing up on the spending of shareholders money here’
Dontgive, on reflection, CC might have wanted to thank people who’ve worked ‘beyond the call of duty’ on their last week, and what difference will it make; the ‘end’ will arrive 2, 3(?) hours earlier and will make no odds to your wealth or mine.

Or, she is confident of a FSP deal and knows one meal is affordable by the coming new owner.

The eve data controller seems to be a wise owl:

I'm selling a car, it has a few minor blemishes in the paintwork so I look up mobile repair - Google comes back with a load of paid ads so quite a competitive field.

I go into one, looks good, read about their method and prices, all makes sense - I'm happy to convert. After filling out a hefty form (car details, chip details, location, personal etc). I am informed they don't operate in my area.

Could have done that from one piece of information (or even with a geo-tag of some form). Mildly frustrating but more fool them, they paid for my visit.

The next several days on social ... 3 guesses what I see every day and every opportunity ... this same geographically distant provider, spending more money on impressions for a Customer they cannot serve.

Two very important lessons here:

1) The slightest bit of scrutiny on the Customer journey through a funnel lens or session view or even scouring social (maybe) might highlight a big flaw in the design ... there is no one route to improvement.

2) A reminder that how you spend your money is far more important than what you are spending.’

Remember, there’s a bill for the lunch , yes, but also sounds like they’ve let people ‘go’ - whatever that means.

Was so good to see so many faces (furry or otherwise!) in the office last week.

The whole of eve had the afternoon off, and with the help of Work.Life we gave our team a gorgeous lunch spread (prosecco included of course), giving us a chance to celebrate each other, and wishing some old faces GOOD LUCK as they take the next step in their journeys on from eve.’

Evening dontgive, I know you blame the bod but they are the same bod who were doing quite well up to … 8? months ago. I don’t recall you mentioning that customers are fewer and further between due to cost of living crisis, and higher costs. It surely can’t all be the fault of CC/TP suddenly going rogue can it? Obviously that’s a leading question & I’m in the same boat as you but I think you are missing what’s happened, to some extent. Two years ago, sales were ahead of expectations and that was under CC.

On my phone so harder to make sense but trust my point comes across.

Would be good to have some news and I assume ‘positive news’ would arrive by now if not already overdue (if any is coming)

I suspect they will update us only when there is news - positive or negative.

If there’s no news then silence and… then at some point news is inevitable.

I think it all rests on whether there’s a buyer for eve, dontgive.

TP hasn’t updated for 7 days now which makes me wonder if eve have stopped paying for TP’s services.

I’m now reading one of Alan Clark’s diaries. He often uses the acronym ACHBG. (I think I have recalled that correctly). Applies to eve now I think. (ACHBG = ‘Anything Can Happen in Backgammon’ - or in other areas of life - even when one thinks the outcome can be predicted on what’s already known.

Pingu, my understanding was that we would only hear if a deal was struck and then we’d vote on it, or hear if eve declined some sort of offer - and eve would outline the reasons for declining - we would not hear if a party just changed their mind and withdrew their interest / walked away.

They did say in the last RNS that their were interested parties and due diligence was taking place. So either the talks are ongoing now or the people have indeed walked away (but eve have not rejected them or we’d have heard).

When Simba were sniffing around three yrs ago it took five weeks from the news leak to the collapse of talks. I would imagine there’s more time pressure now than I was then yet it’s two months since the FSP was announced.

Evening dontgive. I’m surprised at the high % of negative reviews. I hope things aren’t falling apart. But increase in site traffic is reassuring. We wait on FSP news so nothing really changed.

It’s only 4 or 5 months since CC offered mattresses to Ukrainian refugees so I am still of the opinion that it’s the world situation that’s mainly to blame but that cc could’ve been better prepared for tough times. I’ve always seen eve as higher risk but I’d thought they’d have enough cash to get through. I don’t personally feel particularly misled though I can see people could take that pov.

(Holiday reading is Sir Sandy Woodward’s book on heading the task force to retake the Falklands. I’d recommend it highly; it’s been out for many years and he passed a while ago.)

‘ The customer service team are much busier than normal and are working super hard to get back to everyone as fast as possible.’

Could be lack of staff, lack of stock or, wishfully, plenty of orders.

Thanks dontgive! We are sitting on our airbus A220 and ready for taxi. Any RNS won’t reach me for a couple of hours :(

Paul Pindar left Chairman post a while ago and – I guess – wouldn't need to report share sales any longer (or buys). Is he bound by any 'closed' period now?

For all we know he could have been selling down recently. In June he had 16,527,126 / 6.02% of eve and may well still have that amount.

Does he have to report each and every transaction as his % changes on an 8.3 or simply that he did have 6% when he last declared? Presumably he could fall to <1% and wouldn't need to declare that.

He's just one-of-us now.

Creating omnichannel stores

Eve Sleep chief executive Cheryl Calverley believes that the most transformative thing in the industry in recent years is how retailers have brought together the best of online with the best of stores.

On 'Yours':

'Flexible managed workspace operator Yours ….


“I believe there is a real opportunity to bring further flexibility to the office market”.'

(How flexible I wonder??)

Lettings & Sales

Managed workspace operator Yours has signed two new clients and renewed with another, as the demand for flexible office space in Central London grows with the easing of pandemic restrictions on office workers.

........, and Eve Sleep, the mattress and sleep wellness company have renewed their 5,850 sq ft lease at 29 Kentish Town Road.

(So one year into a 2? 3? year lease, but there could be a break-clause / 2 months' notice after one year if similar to a Residential letting.)

Response from eve to my last email to CX (Re Argos search, which I worked out anyway and was my mistake understanding the Argos menu)

'Hello D,

We just wanted to let you know we haven't forgotten about you and your query.

Our team is very busy at the moment and doing their best to stay on top of things but we're aware that there has been a wait in getting back to you.

So 2.25 yrs ago the sp was 'just over 1p'.
