Manchester Boss Grants Staff Day Off After Euros Final

MadeByShape, a Brand and Web Design Agency in Manchester, is giving all staff a day off to enjoy the England v Spain Euro 2024 Final without worrying about work the following day.

It is a rare occasion for England to reach a final, and this time – it ‘might’ actually be coming home. The football may not have been the most attractive, but does that matter if England win the Euros for the first time? It has been ages since we last celebrated a (potential) major victory like this, harking back to the World Cup in 1966.

The last time England reached a Euros final was in 2021, and before that? Never. So let’s take this moment to celebrate and enjoy.

Andy Golpys, Co-Founder of MadeByShape, stated: “The majority of our staff will be watching the game, and it’s likely they will have a hangover on Monday. So why not just let them enjoy the night, and not worry about working on Monday? As long as their deadlines don’t get missed and their clients are informed, I think it’s a nice benefit of working at MadeByShape.”

Andy even appeared on Radio 5 Live in 2021 discussing the appropriateness of days off work, when they’re allowed and when they shouldn’t be. We think he’s fostering a great culture, and we fully support it.

Kerry Hounslea, Socials Manager of MadeByShape, said: “I was in the pub, watching the game, and after a few pints of Guinness I messaged Andy asking for the Monday off if we got through that night against the Netherlands. I didn’t expect it to actually work but guess who’s going out Sunday without thinking about work the next morning? Me.”

Do you have Monday 15th July off work? If not, just ask your boss and see what they say.
