Business travel on a PPL?

So I'm nearing completion of my PPL and considering all the potential excuses I can make up for using it! I know flying will never be an economical method of travel, and very rarely even prove quicker after pre-flights, onwards travel etc.

However, my company's HQ is based on the edge of a relatively decent grass airfield and I do travel around the UK a fair bit on business, so there is the potential for the odd journey to prove viable with a lift or hire car at the other end.

My question though is this: I don't really intend to get a CPL, and I know you cannot be paid to fly on a PPL. Where does business travel fit in to this? I will be paid 'whilst' flying rather than 'to' fly, although potentially may also carry a colleague who is also being paid whilst in the plane. I guess you could also suggest that I am being paid to carry the colleague, despite this not being the purpose of my wages.

So, can I? Can't I?
