Spalding players in team which took on Eggheads

A team including accountants from Spalding has taken part in the hit BBC quiz programme Eggheads.

The Number Crunchers – consisting of Moore Thompson employees Philip Bryan, Michael Sellars, Gemma Frost and Carl Knights and their friend from Spalding Club, Trevor Hargrave – are due to be featured on Thursday, September 29 (BBC2, 6pm).

Viewers will then be able to find out how the local team fared against the Eggheads – a team of quiz experts – and whether they took home the grand prize.

Philip said: “The whole team had a wonderful time filming with the Eggheads, but I won’t reveal if we beat them. People will have to tune in to find out whether we won.”

Moore Thompson managing partner Mark Hildred said: “Everyone in the office is really looking forward to watching the episode to see how the team did on the day.

“As experienced accountants they have expertise in a broad range of subjects, but the Eggheads are tough opponents, so it should be exciting to watch.”
