THERE is still time to enter the hunt for Hampshire’s brainiest business, which takes place tonight.

The Rose Road Association, which cares for disabled youngsters, has teamed up with the Daily Echo and Wise Catering to challenge the region’s best business brains to compete for glory in a new quiz.

Pitting accountants against air conditioning salesmen and designers against developers, the winner of tonight’s showdown at Eastleigh’s Concorde Club will be able to claim not only the title of Brainiest Business, but a trophy and a £2,000 day out on a luxury yacht.

The quiz costs £20 a head for teams of up to five, including interval food and is open to any businesses in the SO postcode area.

The Rose Road’s Gary Thomasson said: “This will be a really fantastic evening for local businesses and an opportunity to support our work. Winning the title of Southampton’s Brainiest Business will be quite an accolade.”
