DYSON staff put their imagination to the test when they got together for a works Christmas party like no other.

The workers based at the Tetbury Hill headquarters in Malmesbury usually deal with state-of-the-art vacuum cleaners, hand driers and fans. But this time they came up with a host of wacky ideas for a costume party.

An upside down living room on the ceiling complete with a couple enjoying a good read, an eagle with motorised wings, Tetris blocks, transformers, robotic rabbits and mini rollercoaster riders were among the 1,000 people who joined in the fun with host James Dyson.
