January 2010
The snow that has gripped the UK for almost three weeks has caused gridlock, travel disruption and forced thousands of people to stay at home, but it couldn’t stop Britain doing business!
Whilst UK industry predicted a loss of up to £3 billion due to the recent freak snow fall, there are some businesses that have been boosted by a nation snowed-in. In the past week conference call provider Powwownow has witnessed a phenomenal 60% increase in registered users.
Business men and women across the country, encouraged to work from home during the inclement weather, have opted for conference calls in a bid to continue business as usual.
Andy Pearce, CEO commented, ‘I think this shows true British spirit, we might not be physically able to get anywhere but we can still have meetings!’
