Two practical tips you can use today.
Clocks changed in the UK and Europe; the US changes on 1 November
UK/EU: 25 Oct 2026 · US: 1 Nov 2026
The UK moved its clocks back one hour on 25 October, and US daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on 1 November. The UAE does not change its clocks, so London is now 4 hours behind Dubai (it was 3), and from 1 November New York will be 9 hours behind Dubai (instead of 8).
Why it matters: Recheck any recurring calls with UK, European or US clients so nobody joins an hour early or late.

Evergreen safety tip
UK and US cyber-security agencies say common warning signs are urgency ('act now'), unexpected payment or account alerts, generic greetings and requests to click a link or share personal details. Don't use the link in the message: open the company's website or app yourself, and report the message. The UK's NCSC says it has received more than 59 million scam reports.
Why it matters: AI makes scam messages look more convincing, so checking the sender and the link matters more than spelling mistakes.
