A major high street firm that could be Britain's most quietly successful brand has enjoyed such a prosperous year that it has given all its staff members bonuses totalling thousands of pounds, 50 years after it was founded.
Games Workshop was set up by three supergeeks in a bedroom in 1975, but is now one of the UK's top companies, having entered the FTSE 100 with a total value of more than £5billion.
Best known for creating Warhammer figures - a table-top model game played by millions of people worldwide, which has spawned a series of video games - the firm is now worth more than easyJet, B&M, Burberry and Ocado.
And after a bumper year it's now handing out some £20million to its 2,950 staff worldwide - the equivalent of £6,779 each.
Games Workshop's shares have soared in recent years and it joined the FTSE 100 for the first time in December.
