Thanks v. much for that AC. All sounds good. Did you open a free account with Retail Week? They've written about Eve before. I was put off by them asking for a Billing Address... I've enquired about why they need that but I'm still waiting for a reply.
I wonder how 'as well as a one-man team in France' works? Plenty of scope for enlargement there.

Probably just a dummy trade by Wyn that went wrong :-)

arguing with my self.. Yes, I guess someone could sell £47,300; It's just I tend not to sell very often so less familiar with the amounts.

Just making conversation but my guess would be that it was a buy (1,006,474 Sell* 4.80 5.10 47.30k)
If it was a 'sell' then why sell 1,006,474 shares? If it were an entire holding yes, but what are the odds of an entire holding being worth exactly 47.30K?
More likely to me that someone chose to spend £47,300 plus charges.

The headline ('sweetening investors’ dreams') sounds promising though:
Interview:
How Eve Sleep boss Cheryl Calverley is sweetening investors’ dreams
By Rosie Shepard8 July 2021

Cheryl Calverley Eve Sleep
After just over a year at the helm of the DTC brand, Eve Sleep chief executive Cheryl Calverley sits down with Retail Week to discuss how the business has turned things around.

On a particularly wet day in June, Eve Sleep chief executive Cheryl Calverley arrives to breakfast by bicycle.

Despite her soaked trousers, Calverley’s positivity is undeniable as, over eggs royale and a flat white, she explains how she came to lead the only sleep wellness brand in the UK.

Hi Username,
I can't take the credit for the website activity as someone else originally posted similar web, but I do remember that Similarweb update around the 6th or 7th of each month and I like to post the latest data. The graph also tends to (in advance ) echo the TP chart, so maybe adding credibility to TP figures.
Nice affiliate review of Eve in The Sun a couple of days ago:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sun-selects/15098812/eve-sleep-original-hybrid-mattress-review/

Website traffic to Eve down in June, but was ranked 68th in May and 63rd in June so doing a tad better than other ‘home & Garden > Furniture’ sites.
In May they had 222,000 visits and June, 190K.

Listening to the lunchtime Radio 4 news they were talking about school testing, again. They had a head teacher who said that: tests would have to be done at school so that the results could be believed; that: Primary kids couldn't test themselves and needed an adult to perform each test on the child; that: kids find it very uncomfortable to have their throats and upper noses swabbed, and make quick involuntary movements of the head – which would be dangerous with a swab far inside the nose.
The implication was that LFD testing of Primary kids was probably a non-starter.
This is what I immediately emailed to World At One. It could've been better written but should've done the job if they are listening:

''Hi World at One,
I mentioned this to you last week so that you could look into it. There is a new LFT that only needs to be inserted into the first part of the nostril. CE certified for pro use, the Avacta AffiDX test could unlock all schools as it’s really sensitive at detecting infectious people (even with a low viral load) rather than people with antibodies that would fail a PCR.
Kind regards,
Mr D-Geeman
Do please look at this:

MHRA Confirms Registration of Avacta’s AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Lateral Flow Test

Avacta Group plc (AIM: AVCT), the developer of diagnostics and innovative cancer therapies based on its proprietary Affimer® and pre|CISION™ platforms, is pleased to announce that the MHRA has confirmed registration of Avacta’s AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 antigen lateral flow test allowing the Company to place the product on the market in the UK for professional use.

Lateral flow antigen tests are intended to provide a cost effective and rapid means of identifying individuals with a high viral load that means they are more likely to infect others. The clinical data for Avacta’s AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 antigen lateral flow test reported in April demonstrated 100% sensitivity for identifying infectious individuals with viral loads measured by PCR of Ct<27.

Avacta has multiple ongoing commercial discussions with distributors and end user customers in countries that accept the CE mark for in vitrodiagnostic products. The product registration by the MHRA allows the Company to sell the product in the UK for professional use and the Company expects product registration from a Competent Authority within the EU to follow shortly.'

Hi Wyn,
Yes, the other share will get some positive news and the mood will be positive again.
Poor you with your 1000 buy! I must admit I don’t press anything now on a dummy; I just allow the 12 seconds to tick away till quote expires. You could well get your 50% rise anyway :-)
TP is slow with eve now we’re into July but it doesn’t matter for a while as we are going to find out about 6 months to June end only.

Yes, I think CC said 'consistently profitable' in 2022.

Hi Wyn,
Cheers for that. I can see that TP is not perfect (review could be a £1000 hybrid or a £20 pair of PJs now, when early last year it was almost defo a mattress) but it's a lot more reassuring than TP numbers falling. And TP reviews went up when the verified lockdown boost arrived.
It rather depends how close to the edge of profit they were before lockdown, and into lockdown. Will UK revenue up by 10% or 15%, year-on-year, be enough? It seems that there are a lot of people 'waiting to see' before they jump in to the share.

Just checked TP again and it’s now on 227 reviews. That’s 15% up on June 2020’s 197 reviews. Not scientific but an indicator nevertheless IMO.

Maestro,
If you look at what I said (‘ and probably moving to.. 5p, 6p in ‘) it was really just to illustrate that the price is much more likely to move up towards the TU than down. If someone was going to take over Eve (I was responding to inch) I think it more likely that they would take over before the price rises unless they are of a mind to wait for a profit. I did say ‘probably’ not definitely. The price does normally rise towards the TU and since we are already above 4p, or have been, 5p doesn’t seem unrealistic and 6p does seem possible. What happens after the TU is another thing entirely. I don’t know, I’m just going off the patterns from previous updates.
Yes the Fridays struck me are slightly odd but I think that they are trying to use different dates and days so that we do not get into a state of expectation each anniversary. That’s my take anyway.
I see a few more trust pilot reviews so we are now 12% up for the number of trust pilot reviews this June compared to last June.
Forgive any typos; I’m dictating this and trying to brush children’s teeth at the same time..

Inch, I'm just puzzled why a potential suitor didn't move when they were a penny rather than at 4p and probably moving to.. 5p, 6p in two weeks - and then (long term) hopefully more.
Agreed, they could prefer to take over a successful profitable company rather than take a risk but then you say Eve'll never be profitable. Doesn't add up to me.

Dunelm and Eve https://www.dunelm.com/search?q=eve+sleep
Sounds a bit like the member of staff at our local Tesco who said they didn't do large Naan bread and then I found them on the shelf.
I don't know, maybe Eve are click and collect only; I've never been in a Dunelm..
CC does say ("consistently" / "reliably" or whatever the phrase) profitable by 2022. I'll take her at face value as she hasn't done other that what she says she'll do.

Still a few hours left in June but currently 218 reviews this month. June 2020 had 197 reviews so we could be 11% up, year-on-year, with June revenue too.
Remember this from Eve? 'Revenues for the first two months of 2021 grew year-on-year by 16%'.
If this all translates into sales, revenue is going to be up around 11 or 12% year-on-year for the first six months – and I am being conservative I believe.
Dixons-Carphone were on the radio this morning saying people are never going back to physical stores to the same extent and that the move online is not going to be reversed. Eve Sleep customers are perhaps the type to travel abroad more than average, and will be restricted this year, possibly next. Some are bound to spend money at home instead. I really can't see Eve ever going back to the pre-pandemic situation before Feb / March 2020 (when they were already getting their act together).

Cheers pigster. I gave up but yes, vox markets does the trick

The missing bit is ‘vox markets’ no gaps https://www.**********.co.uk/articles/traders-cafe-with-zak-mir-bulletin-board-heroes-june-29-31b0b7f/
