The 30th edition of MERIT is up and running, as construction organisations from around the globe field their best and brightest in the race to become MERIT 2020 Champions.
The hours of trialling and discussions on strategy will now come in to play as the next 7 weeks see risers and fallers in the overall league table.
Following on from the many teams from Atkins India who have previously competed in the competition, 'Falcons Reloaded' are the early pacemakers with an emphatic 32% rise in performance, giving them pole position on a score of 1317. All top three places are occupied by Atkins India teams with 'AW Winners' (from KBR) nestled in 4th place.
However this is just the start of the process and there is still lots of time to review your position, refine your tactics, and consolidate your momentum, without going too fast too soon!
A special mention for name of the week goes to 'Road to Redemption' from WSP – not only a great name but also a team that maintained their status quo buy only moving 1 point!
Looking forward to next week!

We are pleased to announce that the Timetable for MERIT 2020 has been finalised.
MERIT 2020 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 2020 final, the winning team will be presented with the ICE’s Silver Salver, £5000 cash prize and named the 2020 MERIT Champion.
