This month marked the successful May 2025 edition of the Financial Times Alphaville Pub Quiz in London, proudly sponsored by Finalto.

The event brought together some of the sharpest financial minds for an evening of market minutiae, macro trivia and conversation. The evening was enhanced by good food, great company, and FT Alphaville’s special guest host, the great Carol Vorderman, added extra pizzazz to proceedings.

Robin Wigglesworth, editor of Alphaville, the FT’s financial blog, commented: “Thanks in particular to Carol Vorderman, who really added some star power to proceedings, and Finalto, for being great partners and ensuring it was such a success. I can’t wait for the next pub quiz.”
