Default Beech not held its leaves

Hi

Last year our mature and high beech hedges seemed to have held their
leaves a lot better than this winter - it's really very thin coverage in
places and you can see right through big patches of bare twigs. We left
it a bit late to trim it this time, although it was also late last year,
could that explain it, or is it more likely down to weather conditions?

What is the best advice for helping beech to hold onto its leaves?

Happy Christmas to everyone by the way.
