BUSINESS people in Bolton donned their thinking caps to take part in a "Universally Challenged" quiz and networking lunch hosted by The Royal Bank of Scotland.

More than 70 professionals, including solicitors, accountants and surveyors, took part in the event at Blackrod's Ramada Hotel.

Teams were quizzed by Ian Settle, from RBS, on topics ranging from professional knowledge of their sector through to films, music, general knowledge and sport.

The winning team, with 74 points, was made up of professionals from Jackson Stephens Accountants, Unity Accountants, Stephensons Solicitors, RBS and Barlow Andrews Accountants.

Dave Jones, director of commercial banking at RBS, said: "It was great to see the energy and enthusiasm expended, not least as all were anxious to avoid the wooden spoon' award."
