Flying the entire workforce to Barbados cost her £50,000.

"I believe you can get extraordinary staff results if you treat people in extraordinary ways," said Mrs Morgan.

"It was a pleasure to see their faces when I announced the news. British businesses don't invest enough in original staff incentives, when there are so many benefits to reap."
