Late June gives the south-west around 16.5 hours of daylight, sunset close to 21:15 BST. Offices generally run 09:00–17:30 BST. A morning ET call lands deep in the Bristol afternoon. Friday wind-downs come early in much of UK office culture, so anything truly urgent is best placed before 15:00 BST.
