Fergus Adams, managing director at Dougall Baillie Associates, said: "We feel very proud of our great team at Dougall Baillie Associates, who work very hard and very professionally in their day jobs, but still find time to raise much-needed cash for those less fortunate than themselves.
"The quiz night marked our 40th year of operations in a highly competitive field and we were delighted that so many of our colleagues, friends, customers and suppliers supported us in raising this splendid sum for the Beatson.
"Congratulations to Sean and Daniel, who trained hard for what must be one of the toughest challenges in sport, and did themselves and DBA proud.
"These achievements will inspire the whole team to continue their fundraising efforts."
DBA workers last year raised a similar sum for charity last year, with a series of events such as walking, running, and cycling.

Why faltering 2025 gives Celtic pause for thought
Celtic's season was very impressive. A league title effectively won before the Bells; a League Cup; a highly creditable draw at Bayern Munich in the Champions League knockout stages; and a Scottish Cup offered that before a ball was kicked, most supporters would have happily signed up.A cracking campaign, yes, but Celtic's 2025 has been far from that. Standards dropped considerably. Seven defeats in five months, albeit two of those were to Aston Villa and (twice), Hibernian and St Johnstone all got the better of Brendan Rodgers in the Premiership while Aberdeen ruined the Parkhead side started the season like a train but went off the rails towards the end. Cause for concern? No. More like pause for the absence of the injured Reo Hatate and Jota, Celtic looked short of energy and creativity in the cup final. As they had done at a rather flat trophy day the week before when St Mirren felt unlucky to leave with just a fielded the same side at Hampden, much to this correspondent's surprise. With Jota unlikely to feature much - if at all - this year, can Celtic afford to entertain any summer offers for Hatate given the season-ending lack of flair?More will be expected next term of Arne Engels and Paulo Bernardo. I suspect a creative midfielder is high among Rodgers' priorities when the transfer window Jota's medium-term absence, another winger will almost certainly have to be acquired. Nicolas Kuhn's sensational early-season form tailed off dramatically. Could Celtic be tempted to cash in on him if a decent offer arrives this summer?The return of Kieran Tierney will bolster Celtic's options in both defence and attack, given his fancy for surging runs down the flank and good deliveries. The team's tally of 112 Premiership goals en route to the title would suggest they are pretty well off up front. Kyogo Furuhashi wasn't replaced in January, however, and there were several late-season chances passed up by the otherwise excellent Daizen Maeda.A fast, agile, natural finisher may be underlined in red ink on the manager's summer shopping will a reliable, quick centre-half with good distribution. Liam Scales has done well enough but Rodgers dropped him in favour of Auston Trusty before bringing the Irish international back when the American's form dipped.I wonder how much of the estimated £26m the club spent on Trusty, Engels and Adam Idah would be recouped if they were put up for sale now?Celtic spent big last summer and the manager will be hoping they go large again. And quickly. The club no longer have an automatic place at European football's top table, instead having to come through a Celtic really afford to wait and see if they strike it rich again before committing to a big spend? Speculating to accumulate is surely the safer option, even for a board that prefers prudence.
