One of the UK's largest accountancy firms will close most of its offices over Christmas and New Year
One of the UK's largest accountancy firms will close most of its offices over Christmas and New Year for the first time to save on energy bills.
Its chairman Kevin Ellis said having all offices open over the festive period "doesn't make sense at a time of energy scarcity".Most staff will be taking annual leave over Christmas, but the Covid pandemic has meant that working remotely from home is now common practice."Office life is hugely important to our culture and business," he said. "But having all our offices open over the holiday period doesn't make sense at a time of energy scarcity.
The accountancy and consultancy firm said its regional offices, which are in cities including Edinburgh, Belfast and Newcastle, would take a "similar approach" to its main Embankment Place site in London. Deloitte has shut its offices over the festive period for several years. All of its UK offices will be closed from 23 December and will reopen on 3 January.
