Waiting until Monday to book a glass repair or replacement job on a car costs the UK economy 11,752 days a year, according to Auto Windscreens.

Every Monday there is 350 per cent increase in the number of calls Auto Windscreens receives compared to on a weekend day.

Calculations by the UK’s leading fleet automotive glazing company have found that British workers spend 1,808 hours between 09:00 GMT and 17:00 GMT making phone calls to arrange an appointment to have the glass repaired in their vehicles.

Auto Windscreens is urging its customers make use of its 24/7 contact centre and online booking service to reduce the number of calls made during working hours.

Recent winter weather has been costly the UK economy too.

An estimated £900 million was lost a day as ten per cent of staff were unable to make it into work, according to data from independent consultancy firm the Centre for Economics and Business Research.
