(CNN) LONDON, England -- John Caudwell, the multi-millionaire owner of high street retailer Phones 4u, has banned staff from using e-mail, he has said.



The tycoon -- who does not use e-mail -- told more than 2,500 employees Friday they would have to swap cyberspace for face-to-face.



He estimates the ban will save staff three hours a day and his company at least £1 million a month in saved time.



Caudwell, Britain's 26th richest man with a estimated personal fortune of £840 million, said: "I saw that e-mail was insidiously invading Phones 4u so I banned it immediately.



"Management and staff at HQ and in the stores were beginning to show signs of being constrained by e-mail proliferation -- the ban brought an instant, dramatic and positive effect."



He added that customers would still be able to contact the company via e-mail because only internal mailing had been banned.
