Carey Olsen’s annual charity quiz has raised £9,426 for two local charities.
The firm’s fourth annual event pitted local workforces against one another in a multi-sensory quiz experience to raise money for the firm’s chosen charities – Family Nursing and Home Care and Friends of Special CareBaby Unit (SCBU).
A record 48 teams of six competed at the interactive event held on 16 November at the Merton Hotel. Quiz master Nick Carver and BBC Jersey presenter Charlie McArdle put the teams through their paces in a series of interactive rounds that featured film clips and voice recognition, history, sport, science and geography, music as well as taste, smell and memory challenges.
A team from Rathbones who called themselves: ‘The Rathbonus Round, took home the trophy with 87 points. JTC Group was runner up for the second year with their team: ‘A Force of Nature’ scoring 86 points, and Social Security's ‘Quiztastrophe’ came third with 85 points.
The annual Carey Olsen quiz takes place in both Jersey and Guernsey as part of the firm's on-going charitable support.
Chairman of Carey Olsen’s charities committee, Victoria Connolly, said: “The Carey Olsen Charity Quiz, which is open to all workforces in Jersey, has become a much anticipated annual event with each company hoping to be the "smartest in Jersey" and have their name inscribed on the trophy."
Carey Olsen partner, Siobhan Riley, said: “Once again the Carey Olsen Charities Committee has raised a counsiderable amount of money which will benefit two extremely rewarding charities. We are grateful to the many local employers who entered teams and who gave so generously to the raffle."
