Managers at offices in a British seaside town have installed a slide to take workers from one floor to another in just three seconds.
The six-metre-long stainless steel feature was added to create a sense of fun for staff at the Workshop offices in Folkestone, Kent.
The part-tubular slide is said to add to the "Google-esque" feel of the offices - and even has a GoPro camera inside it taking pictures as people whiz down from the fifth to the fourth floor.
Catering for a range of fledgling local businesses, the five-storey digital business hub opened in September 2 - complete with novelty descent.
For those of an unadventurous disposition, the office has conventional stairs and a lift for people to get from floor to floor.
Office manager James Avery, 30, said: "We are quite Google-esque and techy here, and the slide really adds to that Google feel about the place.
"Everyone has a go when they come in, but people have become accustomed to it now. No one looks up, it's just the norm.
"We have noticed the slide being used for other purposes, such as sending down post, and even the odd bag of sugar.
