“I am honoured to be joining Eve at this exciting time,” Choudhry said.#
“My experience in nurturing an entrepreneurial and fast paced culture, developing high performing teams, and managing online fulfilment across Europe whilst focusing on building customer centric operations at a reasonable cost base will help Eve as it transitions to the next phase of its growth journey.”

“His expertise and insights will be invaluable as we transition from focusing on restructuring to driving balanced and sustainable growth, initially across our three existing markets.
“With an increasingly strong executive and non-executive Board, an award winning and growing product range and a healthy balance sheet, eve is well placed to seize the yet untapped opportunity to build a meaningful sleep wellness brand.”
