Snow News is good News - for Forties People

On what was a devastating day for the British economy, what is being dubbed as ‘White Monday’ threw up some startling facts :–

But, the most astonishing fact of them all, is this – 82%, of all Forties People temps struggled through the snow, ice and freezing temperatures and made it into work on Monday.

• Almost 6.5m people, equating to approximately one-fifth of Britain’s workforce, stayed away from work on Monday due to the adverse weather.
• 4,500 schools across the UK remain closed on Tuesday
• The Federation of Small Businesses has estimated that each day of disruption costs the economy £1.2bn
• Car journeys were down by 31% on Monday evening and Tuesday morning’s rush hour was down by almost 27%
• Airports, mainline rail stations and most other commuter terminals suffered massive disruption, cancellations and delays which will have a knock-on effect until the end of the week

Managing Director Spencer Jacobs and his staff spent the whole day on the phone ringing every company where temps have been placed to make sure they were covered and were astonished to find almost all of them answered the phone!

The message here is simple and as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating – if you’re looking for temporary and permanent staff who are prepared to put the effort in and will literally crawl through ice and snow to fulfil their obligations, call Forties People 020 7329 4044 or click here to visit us online.
