Bowker prioritises wellbeing with six-day week

  24 May 2023

Bowker BMW and Mini Preston is now closed on Sundays. The retailer says the six-day week will provide employees with extra time with family and friends.

“More leisure time will mean happier staff, better performance and stronger loyalty to our business,” said sales director Chris Eccles. He added trends since the end of the lockdown have influenced the move. “New working patterns mean customers have more flexibility when they visit. Higher footfall during the week bears this out.”

Savings in heating and lighting will also reduce the family-owned retailer’s carbon footprint.
