The tallest spaghetti and brain-teasing questions.

Lawson West Solicitors hosted a wonderful charity quiz evening on Tuesday 29th October at the King Power Stadium, Leicester, in support of Leicestershire and Rutland LOROS Hospice charity. It was held in conjunction with the Leicester Business Festival, an event we are extremely proud to be a part of. 

Nearly 120 people took part in The Business Quiz and the event sponsored and supported by Andrew & Ashwell, Gallagher, Mazars, The Fabulous Group, Rowleys, Westerby and Cambridge and Counties Bank.

LOROS volunteers and staff came out in force to help facilitate the marking of answer papers and to manage the all-important scoreboard. LOROS Trustee, Chris Greenwell, was the Quiz Master for the evening and ensured a smooth runnning throughout. 

The event was great fun and the amount of positive feedback we have received since has been overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who came along and to the teams who took part:

• Andrew & Ashwell

• Leicester City Football Club

• Intelligent Financial Advisory Ltd

The scores were close but the overall winners were Rowleys, closely followed by BRI UK in second place and Obsidian Tax Limited in third – A huge congratulations to the winning teams! The winning team won 6 tickets to a Premiership Leicester Tigers Match that were generously donated by Gallagher and a bottle of Champagne each.

With 12 rounds in total, there was a real variety of questions and the stand out round was of course, round 2 ‘Build you Business Empire”, an interactive round that challenged contestants to build the highest structure using just spaghetti and marshmallows!

Following the success of this year’s event we look forward to making a return next year for even more fun and teasers.

Ashley Hunt (Director, Employment), Christian Jenkins (Associate, Probate & Wills) and Joe Weston (Trainee, Employment) attended the Welland Park Academy careers event on 10 October.

The evening careers event for students and parents was hosted by Welland Park Academy at the school in Market Harborough. It was attended by several hundred people and many employer and university exhibitors took part to provide ideas, discussion and guidance to students who are at the important stage of considering the next steps in their career path.

Lawson West Solicitors was one of the exhibitors and Ashley Hunt said of the evening:

“Christian, Joe and Myself are all delighted and pleased to take part in the careers evening. Each of us work in the legal field and each of us has had a different route to entry as well as all of us being at different stages of our careers – from traineeship right through to Director level. We have a good overview of the career development and training needs for would-be lawyers and those wishing to join the legal profession and we wanted to lend encouragement and practical experience to others.”
