Pinsent Masons crowned Scotland’s brainiest business for second year

An annual black-tie quiz for businesses has raised £158,000 for Marie Curie in Glasgow.

Pinsent Masons LLP were crowned Scotland’s brainiest business for the second year in a row at the event which is now celebrating twelve years thanks to support from Scotland’s business community,

The Glasgow Brain Game, held at the Hilton Glasgow, saw 50 businesses compete to take home the trophy.

Event host Hazel Irvine was supported by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chief executive Stuart Patrick, National Chef of Scotland Gary Maclean, BBC Sport journalist Roddy Forsyth and Radio Clyde’s Amber Zoe.

David Logue member of the event organising committee, said: “It’s clear to see that the business community appreciates the format and atmosphere of the Glasgow Brain Game. The support from some of Scotland’s biggest companies has been fantastic and it is humbling to play a small part in the tremendous success of the 12th Glasgow Brian Game.”

Barry McCaig Partner and head of the Glasgow office for Pinsent Masons LLP, said: “We were delighted to support Marie Curie once again by participating in the 2018 Brain Game. It was nice to win for the second year in a row but of course it’s the taking part that counts!”

Catherine Maclean, Marie Curie special events manager, added: “The days of boring old black-tie events are over – ensuring our guests have a fun evening with their guests is something we take seriously. The Glasgow Brain Game ticks every box for corporate clients – we’ve created a prestigious night with the perfect mix of client entertaining, fun interactivity and the feel-good factor of helping Marie Curie to raise vital funds to help those living with a terminal illness. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
