Macquarie Corporate & Asset Finance takes trophy at New Leaf Search Leasing Industry Great British Pub Quiz

The seventh annual Leasing Industry Great British Pub Quiz, hosted by New Leaf Search, saw 10 teams battle for honours at The Counting House in London recently.

Quizmaster Nathan Hamer, part of the team that writes quiz content for TV shows including The Code, Child Genius and Only Connect, put the 60 guests through their paces, with the winners receiving a New Leaf Search Leasing Industry Great British Pub Quiz 2018 engraved glass award and certificate.

The team in last place received an engraved wooden spoon trophy, a wooden spoon each and a pub quiz book to help improve their performance next year.

Macquarie Corporate & Asset Finance won this year’s top prize, with team captain Garry Pearce, the company’s head of flow credit, saying: “We’ve been coming to the pub quiz for six years and it is consistently one of the most enjoyable nights we have in the industry. The quiz is always extremely well organised and diverse which means everyone contributes.

“2018 was particularly memorable, as we managed to pip DLL to the title by a single point. This following a string of third place finishes, so it was great to add a new trophy to our new Reading office. We look forward to coming along and attempting to defend our title in 2019.”
