Athens Business Pulse

  • Culture Sociable and relationship-heavy. Business often involves lively discussion.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best window for calls is 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Avoid calling between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "siesta" or lunch period). Greeks value personal rapport and hospitality; business deals are often sealed over long meals or social gatherings. Be prepared for a warm and expressive communication style.

London Business Pulse

  • Culture London business culture is generally formal but collaborative. "Flexi-Fridays" are common in the summer.
  • Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Avoid calling after 4:30 PM on Fridays as many offices wind down early for the weekend. Mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) between 10 AM and 4 PM is the "Golden Window" for reaching decision-makers. Always start with a brief polite inquiry about their day before diving into business.
