The Gateley Belfast team were delighted to host an evening of food, drinks and trivia in aid of two fantastic charities, as the annual Belfast Business Quiz returned for 2026.

As well as competing to take home the winner’s trophy, the event raised much‑needed funds for two incredible causes, Aspire NI and East Belfast Mission.
