The last couple of years have pushed us to rethink our working methods and patterns. With the aim of providing more flexibility and a better work/life balance for our team, Feilden Fowles have been working a 9-day-fortnight pattern since April 2022, meaning every two weeks full-time staff will have an additional day off. We are confident that this initiative will not negatively impact our services but improve professionalism, efficiency, quality, and timeliness by encouraging a more energised and contented workforce. Free-days are usually on Fridays unless impacted by bank holidays. To keep our clients and collaborators informed, Feilden Fowles will be observing the following bank holidays and ‘free-days’ in 2026:
January: 1 (Bank Holiday), 23
February: 6, 20
March: 6
April: 3-6 (Easter), 24
May: 4 & 25 (Bank Holidays)
July: 10, 24
August: 7, 21, 31 (Bank Holiday)
September: 18
October: 2, 16, 30
December: 11, 25-29 (Christmas)
