Our Leeds team are celebrating after successfully bringing the regional business community together to test their knowledge at the inaugural Gateley Leeds Business Quiz.

Held at the award-winning Aspire events venue in the city, 11 teams went head-to-head on the night with the ‘Quizzee Rascal’ team from Handeslbanken emerging victorious, talking home the first prize of a restaurant voucher, prosecco and the much-coveted Gateley trophy.

They edged out Park Place Corporate Finance by a solitary point, with Dow Schofield Watts in third, completing the podium places.

As well as being a fun evening of friendly competition, the event also brought together a plethora of clients, friends and colleagues to create a great atmosphere – with a lot of debate and discussion, as competitors challenged themselves to answer the questions posed by our friends at professional quizmasters Quiz Quiz Quiz.

Roger McCourt, partner and Leeds office head, said: “Thank you to everybody who joined us as we launched the Gateley Leeds Business Quiz, it was great to see so many friends of the Group joining us. The local business community is particularly busy at the minute so it’s important to still take the time out to get together, provide an opportunity to make new connections and, as it’s a quiz, put our phones away for a bit! We were thrilled that this event proved so popular and that everyone enjoyed the evening.

“Congratulations to the Handelsbanken team on becoming the inaugural winners and to all the teams who competed so well. Given the success of the launch, we hope to be back bigger and better next year and it was great that teams have already said that they will be joining us again!”
