CONNELLS most successful employees enjoyed a taste of the high life recently when the company whisked them off on an all-expenses-paid trip to Monte Carlo as a reward for making it a record year.

The residential lettings company has offices in Foregate Street, and Warndon Villages, Worcester.

"Last year was Connells most successful ever with record profits of £17m and a turnover of £70m," said Stephen Shipperley, Connells' chief executive.

"This trip to Monte Carlo was a way of showing our appreciation to those whose outstanding performances helped us achieve such excellent results."
