As the lights turn green teams from Arup, Atkins and Aurecon battle for top positions.

Following an extensive trialling period the competing MERIT teams are now up and running and the first round results are in. Strong performances from Atkins and Aurecon have secured four of the top slots with only 10 points between them, with IMF (Arup) managing to get their noses in front with a very creditable 56% improvement. But several teams are snapping at their heels.

Lower down the table, teams are beginning to get to grips with their company and the market, with strategies being formulated to make the right move at the right time. It’s still there for the taking and fortune favours the brave!
