The event, held on Tuesday 18th November at Balls Brothers Minster Court in the City of London, brought together 136 participants from insurance companies across Essex and London for an evening of friendly competition and fundraising. 

The evening brought together 17 teams representing 11 insurance companies, all united to support Havens Hospices and the vital care it provides to families across Essex. 

After a closely contested battle of wits, the quiz ended in a dramatic tie, but Shepherd Global took home the winner’s trophy after answering the tie-break question correctly.  

The funds raised will go directly towards supporting the charity, which supports people of all ages who are living with incurable conditions, and their families, to make every day count. 

Steve Yeung, Corporate Fundraising Officer at Havens Hospices, said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in this fantastic evening. The support from the insurance industry has been overwhelming, and these funds will make a real difference to the families we care for.  

“Congratulations to our winners Shepherd Global and thank you to all 17 teams. Our thanks also go to our Main Sponsor Aon and Quiz Rounds sponsor Argenta, for their generosity and enthusiasm.”

Havens Hospices provides specialist care and support for people of all ages who are living with incurable conditions, and their families, so they can get the most from life and make every day count. This care is provided absolutely free of charge.  

Businesses across Essex are being invited to join the charity for its Big Essex Quiz in the Spring. To find out more and get involved, contact corporatefundraising@havenshospices.org.uk
