Seven teams competed to win the inaugural Have You Got News For Us POP Quiz last night. After nine closely fought rounds, Los Pollos Hermanos, a team made up of Initiative staff, plus advertising sales executives from Independent Newspapers went home with the trophy.

The quiz was based on newspaper content and covered subjects including news, sport, entertainment and business, plus caption competitions and a complete the headline round – think Have I Got News for You, but in a packed room!

With the evening that was in it, the prizes followed a valentine’s theme, with teams going home with vouchers for dinner in Fade Street Social, champagne, Butler’s chocolates and tacky valentine’s decor sets (for the losers!).

Thanks to everyone who came along to test their news-worthiness and share in the fun. See you all at the next NNI POP event soon!
