Northampton Investment Management Firm Cave & Sons Crowned in Charity Quiz
More than 30 businesses from Northamptonshire battled it out this month in a bid to be crowned the 2010 Hearts and Minds Challenge. The corporate quiz, compered by Heart FM DJ Murray J, raised more than £4,000 for Northamptonshire Community Foundation - a grant giving charity which supports grassroots community and voluntary groups.
Stockbroking and investment management company, Cave & Sons, were crowned the evening’s winners. A Herald & Post team finished 12th out of the 37 teams taking part.
Cave & Sons director Simon Harvey said: “What a fantastic event. “We were delighted to win, if a little surprised. However, the focus must be on the worthy causes that will benefit from the generosity of all the local firms who took the time out to participate, and on the team and volunteers at the Foundation whose hard work made the event such a success.”
Victoria Miles, chief executive of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, added: “The Park Inn proved a wonderful venue and our 38 teams of six were treated to a fantastic and interactive quiz papers and pens weren’t even necessary with everyone using their hand-held consoles to answer eight rounds of questions.”
