DESIGN GURUS AT Maris Interiors LLP have a stylish office of their own in London's Bankside. Their in-house coffee shop, Foam, looks like a hip high street joint, with on-trend stools and wooden-plank counter — but the drinks, fruit and snacks are free for staff. The freebies don't stop there. Once a month the office design firm turns a meeting room into a salon offering massages, haircuts or manicures. The London company even takes its workforce of 154 on holiday — last year, to Ibiza — and chief executive Simon Vaughan slips those on lower wages extra spending money for the trip. Everyone can become a partner (there are currently 24) and people are happy with their pay (79% positive). Boredom isn't setting in (82%) and employees also say work is important to them (87%). www.maris-interiors.co.uk
