THE hunt is on for Southampton’s smartest company.

Disabled youngsters’ charity the Rose Road Association has teamed up with the Daily Echo and Wise Catering to challenge the region’s best business brains to enter a major new quiz.

Pitting accountants against air conditioning salesmen and designers against developers, the winner of the May 12 event will be able to claim not only the title of Southampton’s brainiest business but an impressive trophy and a £2,000 day out on a luxury yacht.

The quiz will take place at The Concorde Club, Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh, and it costs £100 to enter a team of five, including interval food.

It is open to any businesses in the SO postcode area. The Rose Road’s Gary Thomasson said: “The Change My Life appeal is going well, but we still need your support.

“This will be a really fantastic evening for local businesses and an opportunity to support our appeal. Winning the title of Southampton’s Brainiest Business will be quite an accolade.”
