Contributing to the £12,000 total, guests also took part in an auction, bidding thousands of pounds on items such as a five-star holiday to Spain and corporate hospitality tickets for Wimbledon.

The evening’s raffle event also added £2,100 to the night’s charity pot, with prizes including beauty hampers, cinema and football tickets, and even paddle board lessons.

Give 4 Good

This year, as part of its Give 4 Good project, RRT is supporting 11 different causes including food banks, animal centres, mental health charities, veterans, the homeless, and blood bikes. The company aims to raise a total £50,000 for good causes this year.

Andrew Hayward said: “This was our biggest and best quiz so far. We had just over 200 people attend and so we want to say a massive thank you. It was once again an incredible night that helped us raise a huge amount of money that will help us support charities within our communities and make a real difference to people’s lives.

“I would like the thank everyone that attended and helped us raise our biggest amount yet, as well as Burton Albion Football Club who provided us with the Pirelli Suite to host the event.”
