We first got in touch with Gareth Hoyle, Managing Director at Altrincham firm Marketing Signals back in May when it signed up for the four-day week UK pilot involving thousands of workers.
Now the trial has come to an end - with results due this year - he tells us that the shift has improved productivity, reduced sickness and transformed the lives of his employees - particularly of a young dad who has saved over £800 a month on childcare and was the main catalyst for the move.
The business has since made the move permanent for all full time employees, who now work 32 contracted hours a week instead of 37.5 hours with no loss in pay.
