Every month the team works towards breaking company records and last year they succeeded for 11 out of 12 months. The reward plays into annual bonuses, but on 'Raise the Bar Fridays', the first Friday of every month, staff finish at 3pm. Some leave early and others use the time to socialise with colleagues.
