All hands on buzzers for Wakefield disability awareness quiz

Businesses from all over Yorkshire and Humber will battle it out at Employers' Forum on Disability's (EFD) Mega Quiz in Wakefield on 18 July.

Hosted in partnership with sponsors Yorkshire Forward, local organisations will get the opportunity to understand more about disability as it affects business. There will also be a free bar, a supper of pie and peas and prizes on offer.

The quiz is also chance to network with other organisations, learn from disability experts in a relaxed environment and find out more about the support available from EFD and Yorkshire Forward.

Niccola Swan, deputy chief executive of EFD says: “This promises to be a fun night out and an excellent opportunity for local organisations to learn how disability affects every aspect of their business, be it people, markets, competitors, suppliers, communities and key stakeholders.

“Looking ahead we hope that the event will engage our members, and potential new members, in the Yorkshire and Humberside area so that we can offer further events and networking opportunities.”

The Employers' Forum on Disability Mega Quiz takes place on Wednesday 18 July at the Cedar Court Hotel, Wakefield, and is free of charge.
