Happy Easter from everyone at Koan 🐣 This week, we celebrated with a team Easter egg hunt at our Chepstow HQ Warehouse - a great way to bring everyone together and enjoy a bit of seasonal fun. Wishing all of our network a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend. We’ll be back on Tuesday the 7th, with plenty of exciting updates to share soon! #HappyEaster #TeamKoan #CompanyCulture #WorkplaceCulture #Easter2026 #EggHunt

A rare post from me, but one worth sharing. 🚀 I don’t take enough time away from the day-to-day, but spending time in London for the Help to Grow: Management Course Annual Alumni Conference back in February was a vital reminder of why I should! Hearing from Deepak Ravindran (Co-founder of Oddbox) and Justine Roberts (Founder of Mumsnet) was a highlight. Their stories were a reminder of just how hard it is to grow a business and the resilience required to keep moving forward. I was so inspired and motivated by the workshops and talks, especially the productivity frameworks shared by Bart van Ark and The Productivity Institute. Since then, I’ve been working through how to actually embed those insights into Koan Group // Bath & Unwind + Man Made Store. Turning inspiration into lasting habits is the real challenge! #HelpToGrow #SmallBusiness #Productivity #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Founders #GrowthMindset

It’s been an exciting few months at Koan HQ in Chepstow. Our warehouse has grown massively, and we’ve finally been able to make the office feel a little more like home (big shoutout to Melanie De Nervaux for the gorgeous interior choices!). We’re also loving having the space to showcase some of our amazing brands around the office - including SACHAJUAN HAIRCARE and Stoneglow Candles - and having two meeting spaces where the team can come together to collaborate on exciting new projects. Not pictured: our lovely new navy and gold kitchen… photos coming soon, once the repairs are complete after someone (aka David Telford) accidentally drilled into a water pipe 🫣 #KoanHQ #OfficeLife #InteriorDesign #WorkspaceGoals #SACHAJUAN #Stoneglow 

Earlier this week, our Buyer & Brand Relationship Manager, Kate Falber, and Digital Marketing Associate, Beth Emmett, visited the beautiful Bramley flagship store in Bath. It was fantastic to catch up with Hephzi Hickish and get a first look at the new Bramley products launching this Spring/Summer. We always value time spent with our brand partners - seeing the products and merchandising brought to life in such a stunning space makes all the difference. Congratulations to the entire Bramley team on their flagship store. We’re excited to be stocking the new ranges soon!🌿 #BrandPartnership #RetailCollaboration #OnlineRetail #SpringSummer #BrandSpotlight

At the end of January, our Buyer & Brand Relationship Manager, Kate Falber, and Director, David Telford, attended MAISON&OBJET in Paris to discover exciting new candle and home fragrance brands.
