eve Sleep ("eve", the "Company), the direct to consumer sleep wellness brand operating in the UK, Ireland and France announces a trading update for the eight months ended 31 August 2020.

"This guidance upgrade is evidence of our momentum and the success of our rebuild strategy, against a backdrop of a consumer landscape shifting to online and market trends in favour of homewares and sleep wellness. Whilst economic uncertainty is likely to remain for some time, we are starting to look beyond our rebuild strategy to the next stage of growth."
