2023 Winners
Thank you to our 2023 competitors!
I would like to thank the entire team for the thought provoking and innovative competition and providing an opportunity to be a part of it...I have personally benefitted a lot over the years with the help of financial newspapers such as the FT. Preparing for Biz Quiz over the past one and a half months increased and solidified my knowledge base.
