As autumn settles in, even a small change to the clock can affect our daily routines, work schedules and evening plans. On 25 October 2026, clocks across the UK went back by one hour, marking the end of British Summer Time and the return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

For businesses working with UK customers, the time shift is also a useful reminder to review meeting schedules, update work calendars and check international communication timings.
