A five strong, all female team from GVA Grimley has ran away
with the trophy in the annual West Midlands Royal Town Planning
Institute's Young Planners Quiz.
12 teams from both the public and private sector took part in
the event, which was held at Bushwackers on Edmund Street in
Birmingham city centre. The victorious team from GVA Grimley
comprised five colleagues from the firm's Planning Development and
Regeneration team, who achieved an impressive 11 point victory
margin. The team members were Laura Smith, Gemma Field, Kimberley
Jeakings, Laura Kennedy and Catherine Mumby.

comments: "The RTPI Young Planners Quiz is great for team bonding,
networking with our peers and certainly brings out everyone's
competitive spirit! We didn't prepare a game plan, or come up with
creative team tactics, but we do all work really well together on a
whole variety of client assignments and that - combined with a bit
of winners' luck - paid off for us on the night."
The quiz evening was organised by 'YP West Mids'; the RTPI's
West Midlands young planners group.
