About Freetown time

In Freetown, Sierra Leone, business life moves at a steady, sun-driven pace, with schedules anchored to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) year-round: there’s no daylight saving to contend with, making coordination with European partners simpler from Ghana to London. The equatorial sun sets close to 6 p.m. daily, so evenings often wrap up work by the early dusk, leaving time for calls with teams in nearby time zones.
