Equipment Finance News Hitachi Capital wins New Leaf Search’s Great British Pub Quiz Published: 17th June 2015 Share New Leaf Search held its 4th Annual Leasing Industry Great British Pub Quiz on June 11 at The Counting House, London. Neel Amin, New Leaf Search’s managing director told Asset Finance International: “The evening was a tremendous success and provided guests with an excellent opportunity to compete head-to-head with industry peers and network in a relaxed atmosphere, “It was a fun alternative to the more formal networking opportunities provided by seminars, conferences and other formal industry gatherings.” The event consisted of 10 teams of six (60 guests) all representatives of leasing and asset finance companies. Each team had a self-appointed team leader and each team member was presented with a coloured sash bearing the company name – with team captains wearing Bowler Hats. A professional quizmaster hosted the event; integrating buzzer rounds, digital picture rounds and audio rounds as well as special question rounds. Winners received a New Leaf Search Leasing Industry Great British Pub Quiz 2015 engraved Glass Award, with each player also bagging a large bottle of Ruinart Rose, an NLS Cross pen and a Winners Certificate. The losing teams were awarded an engraved Wooden Spoon Trophy, a wooden spoon each and a Pub Quiz book to share between them (to help prep for next year!) Amin added: “As a result of this continued success – this event is now a firm fixture in the annual leasing calendar. Next year’s event will be in May/June 2016 – final date to be advised.” The Teams: (each comprising of six players) finished as below: Company Name Team Name Rank % Score Hitachi Capital Business Finance Hitachi Intellectual Capital 1st 85.00 EMC2 Global Financial Services E = MC Hammer 2nd 77.50 Bank of America Merrill Lynch Bank of American Idols 3rd 70.83 Macquarie Equipment Finance MEF – Here for the Beer =4th 70.00 Siemens Financial Services Siemen and Siegirls =4th 70.00 Five Arrows Leasing Group The Famous 5 Arrows 6th 69.17 DLL Group Dutch Masterpieces 7th 65.83 NetApp Capital Solutions Answers on Tap 8th 62.50 ABN Amro Lease Cool in Clogs 9th 51.67 Societe Generale Equipment Finance Crazy Frogs 10th 40.83 Hall of Fame: Hitachi Capital Business Finance Hitachi Intellectual Capital 2015 Winners Hitachi Capital Business Finance Hitachi Intellectual Capital 2014 Winners Aldermore Asset Finance George and the Dragons 2013 Winners Bank of America Merrill Lynch Bank of America’s Got Talent 2012 Winners (Top) Winning Team Photo / Prize-giving (Hitachi Capital) L-R: Katherine Amin (NLS), Mike Dobson, Geoff Wigg , Raj Deol, Stuart Townsend, Andy Murdoch, Jane Theobald (NLS) (Missing = Tony Gagliardi) Asset Finance Connect Asset Finance Connect brings you news and updates about UK and European auto, equipment and asset finance providers.
