Cyber Squirrel winner – Mark Foulds

October 8th 2026

Congratulations to Mark Foulds of Care Providers’ Voice – winner of our Cyber Squirrel Quiz at the Care Show Birmingham 2026.

10 people got all questions correct, so it came down to the tie breaker question:

Hazel the Cyber Squirrel is Digital Care Hub’s mascot. What super powers should she have, and why?

Mark’s winning response was:

Knowledge Nuts: Hazel collects and shares “cyber nuts” containing bite-sized cyber security tips with care staff.

Michelle Corrigan and Katie Thorn loved his response – and presented Mark with his very own cuddly Hazel during a live Ctrl+Care Podcast at the Care Show. Watch out for this special edition coming soon.
