A start-up boss treated his whole team to a trip to Ibiza, including tickets to a Calvin Harris residency, to say thanks for their hard work.
Ashley Jones, 34, founder of Great Influence, a personal branding start-up, surprised his employees with the news after the company enjoyed its best quarter since its launch in 2018.
The firm covered all costs including flights, lunches, dinner and entertainment spending £7,000 in total.
Ashley, who is from Manchester, said: "The team have worked so hard over the last few months and it felt like the right thing to do to show appreciation.
"I also believe it's my responsibility that whilst they work here, we give them the best memories possible."
Ashley, who wanted to capture the moment on camera, had to lure the team into a meeting room and tell them they needed to attend a filmed workshop.
"I knew the team would question why we're filming a meeting, so I had to convince the team into thinking we were doing a workshop."
Footage of the announcement shows Ashley's team ecstatic at the news as they can be seen yelling and cheering with joy.
Speaking about the trip, Ashley said: "I've never seen so much love for our company! It feels like the holiday created a memory for everyone that they'll remember for a long time.
"Things like that are a bonus to what I think we give our team, which is a feeling like they are working on something they love, with people they love and a boss who values them and understands them."
This is not the only bonus that the team have had, according to Ashley in the last two months they attended Parklife festival and went to see Billie Eilish and Harry Styles.
Earlier this year, an engineering firm gave each of his workers an extra £1,000 to help with the rising cost of living.
Matt Fletcher hoped the extra cash would help towards helping 86 employees deal with rising energy and fuel costs.
Matt, the managing director of Stoke-on-Trent firm Fletcher Moorland, said the business was fortunate enough to have thrived during lockdown, taking on 18 new members of staff since the start of the pandemic.
"Because of the nature of our work we are in the fortunate position to have seen some strong growth over the past two years – despite Covid,” Matt told Stoke-on-Trent Live.
“We have taken on 18 new staff since the start of the pandemic because of the demand we have seen from the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors. Everybody has worked really hard."
