Our team
Hi there, nice to meet you. We are the JDers, a tribe of People lovers with a thirst for knowledge and a keen AI (get it?) on the future. We also love a quiz and are quite the collection of Science & Technology, History, Sports, Art, Literature & Culture enthusiasts, so we are almost there with our ultimate quiz team…but could always do with a few more specialist subjects in tow, what would yours be?
Here is a little insight into our much-loved line-up:
