MERIT 2024 has been set up to model a construction industry operating in an economy emerging from a recession with up to date bank interest rates and charges and current corporation tax. Learning to survive as a construction business in tough market conditions with fierce competition is the knowledge currently needed by our industry executives.

After completing eight rounds simulating two years of trading the top six teams will be invited to experience a further six periods of simulated trading in the MERIT 2024 final, the winning team will be presented with the ICE’s Silver Salver and named the 2024 MERIT Champion.
