We are pleased to announce that the Timetable for MERIT 2018 has been finalised.

MERIT 2018 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 Loughborough University to experience a further two years of simulated trading in the MERIT 2018 final, the winning team will be presented with the ICE’s Silver Salver, £5000 cash prize and named the 2018 MERIT Champion.
