RTE’s Bryan Dobson returned as quizmaster and Mr. Justice Peter Kelly, head of the Court of Appeal, adjudicated on the night. BT Ireland and DAA both supported the event with The Reputations Agency working closely with the BJAI on all elements of the fundraising project including handling the PR and event management.
APB, were the overall winners of the quiz, beating stiff competition from Wilson Hartnell and other teams to win a Waterford Crystal Trophy. The teams impressed by scoring a total of 48 points out of a possible 64.
Sam McGuinness on behalf of Dublin Simon Community said, "The BJAI Corporate Challenge is a vitally important event for Dublin Simon Community. As we continue to face a rising tide of homelessness with increasing numbers of people, families and children coming to our doors for help at a frightening rate, we now more than ever rely on the Business Journalist Corporate Challenge Quiz to support the work we do.
We would like to express our thanks to the BJAI for their commitment to us. We also want to thank the many supporters who contributed in their own way to make tonight’s event a great success."
