Like all good birthdays, the day began with treats and we fuelled ourselves for a day of festivities with a Team breakfast at Zedonk HQ. Exchanging stories over coffee and a croissant or two, this was a fantastic opportunity to sit down together and reflect on how far the company has come. In true Zedonk fashion, we made sure that there were obligatory touches of oranges present throughout the day. From our wardrobes to the birthday beverages we enjoyed, the Zedonk colours, white, black and orange, were out in full force and our monthly company meeting was given an extra bright touch.
Our eighteenth birthday celebrations did not stop there! Work day complete, the Team left the desks for an evening of camaraderie and healthy competition at ‘Fair Game!’ in Canary Wharf. As apparently experienced in playing Whack-A-Mole and Space Raiders as we are in supporting brands with Wholesale, Production and Logistics, untapped talent was discovered across the board. What better way to celebrate 18 years of fun and games than with a trip to the funfair? Thank you to Fair Game for making us feel so welcome!
Online, we marked our big day in a variety of ways and introduced two exciting forms of content to our Company eMag. First, we went back to the beginning and traced a timeline of the key steps that have led Zedonk to where we are today. Marking the major events, people and fortuitous meetings that have shaped our business’s development in the last eighteen years, to the fashion industry’s increasing embrace of technology, we even answered our most frequently asked question, ‘Just how did Zedonk get its name?!’ Check out our milestone timeline here.
‘From Fashion for Fashion’, The specialist expertise of the Zedonkers is always something that we are immensely proud of. Publishing the inaugural interview of our new ‘In Conversation’ series, we sat down with former user and now our very own Head of Client Success, Emily Ross, to reflect on her unique experience on ‘both sides’ of our system. From her first memory of using our platform in house at a brand, to her top tips and the aspirations she has for the company as we continue to grow, Emily’s insights are well worth a read. Watch this space – we have plenty more interviews to come!
And so, Zedonk is now 18 years old. With already a lifetime of experiences, success stories and more than 1000+ Zedonkers across the globe, the future of our company is bright. We can’t wait to see what the next eighteen years will bring!
Happy Birthday Zedonk!
