Hitachi Capital wins New Leaf Search’s Great British Pub Quiz

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:
