The team at Dougall Baillie Associates (DBA) have once again shown its commitment to giving back by raising £2,800 for the Beatson Cancer Charity through a combination of its hugely popular annual quiz night and March March Steps Challenge.

Around 120 colleagues, friends and supporters packed Revolution bar in Glasgow’s Mitchell Street last week for DBA’s quiz night, which after a closely contested battle of wits, was won by a team from Stirling headquartered Bracewell Architects.

The quiz fundraising was boosted by the conclusion of DBA’s 2026 March March Steps Challenge, where over four weeks of determined walking, 27 participants collectively clocked up nearly 9.5 million steps, pounding pavements, paths and trails in all weathers.



The fight for the top spot was fierce, with colleagues Sean Purves and Stephen Laird both smashing the one‑million‑step mark, averaging an extraordinary 36,000 plus steps a day.

Third place went to Errin Hendry‑Giles, who secured the bronze boot in style by completing the West Highland Way during the final week of the challenge. In a further generous gesture, Sean Purves donated the entire March March prize pot to the Beatson Cancer Charity.

Fergus Adams, director of Dougall Baillie Associates, said: “Once again, our team has shown just how generous, committed and competitive they can be when it comes to supporting such an important cause.
