As no-one else has replied with a better solution...

You could replace your broadband router with a Draytek 2800 VPN ADSL Router/Firewall at a cost of around £130. This has the ability to terminate a number of VPN pipes, with user authentication. The users would connect to the router through the internet using the Microsoft PPTP VPN (Connect to... -> Network at my workplace -> using virtual private networking). Once connected they could access their PCs almost as if on the office LAN (but far slower).

I'm not an expert on this device but it was recommended to for a similar purpose. I was able to set it up relatively easily using my ISP welcome letter (connection info) and the documentation supplied with the router.
