Manchester Agency Gives Staff Day Off to Celebrate England’s Euro 2024 Final
MadeByShape Lets Football Fans Enjoy the Big Game
Manchester’s MadeByShape, a top Brand and Web Design Agency, is giving all its staff a day off work to soak up the England v Spain Euro 2024 Final. No need to worry about Monday morning or hangovers – the office is officially closed for footie fans.
England’s Rare Euro Final Made Extra Special
It’s a once-in-a-blue-moon moment for England to reach a Euro final. Sure, the football hasn’t always been pretty, but if England clinch the trophy for the first time, does it really matter? It’s the kind of victory that hasn’t come around since the glory days of the 1966 World Cup.
Before this, England had only made it to the Euros final in 2021 – and that’s it. So this time, it’s all about celebrating and enjoying the moment.
Boss Andy Golpys On The Decision
“The majority of our staff will be watching the game, and it’s likely they’ll have a hangover on Monday,” co-founder Andy Golpys explained. “So why not let them enjoy the night and not stress about work the next day? As long as their deadlines are met and clients informed, it’s a nice perk of working at MadeByShape.”
Andy even appeared on Radio 5 Live back in 2021 debating when days off for football should be granted. His forward-thinking approach is getting plenty of support.
Staff Celebrate With Guinness and No Work Worries
Socials Manager Kerry Hounslea said, “I was in the pub watching the game, had a few pints of Guinness, and messaged Andy asking for Monday off if we beat the Netherlands. Didn’t think it would work, but guess who’s now going out Sunday night without thinking about work the next morning? Me.”
Will Your Boss Give You Monday Off for the Final?
If you don’t have the day off on Monday 15th July, why not ask your boss? You might just get lucky like MadeByShape’s lucky crew.
