Visa Waiver Business and Visa Waiver Tourist on the same visit?
There is a possibility that I may be going to the US next year on business for meetings with a supplier and our sister company. As I'll already be there (and work would be paying for the flights!) it makes sense (to me at least) to have a week's holiday afterwards but was wondering if that's possible. I know I can use the VWP for the business trip and for the holiday but can I do both on the same trip?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes. You must enter under WB (business) category. You can then be a tourist as well as a businessman - it doesn't work the other way around.

Before moving I used to travel over here with work at least 3 times a year and always tacked some personal time on - whether it be just a long weekend or a bit more.
