After eight rounds, the Early Years of MERIT 2024 draw to a close with 'Cant Engineer Group (CEG)' taking over the spotlight while 'TEAM 3' (AtkinsRéalis Ireland) find the trapdoor and fall to second.
'TfL E&T' (Transport for London) hold onto their third place, while the (AtkinsRéalis India) teams 'Construction Cheetahs' and 'Tech Catalysts' swap places as 'Doran Consulting 1' (Doran Consulting) take an impressive leap back into that all important last Final spot.
We congratulate the top teams, but we are also aware of the long hours and effort that has gone into the performance of teams right across the board. Sometimes getting ahead of just one other team, with whom you have battled all the way, is a satisfying victory. The internal competition between teams has been fantastic with different teams advancing, only to be overhauled by another team later.
For the ensemble of teams that competed, we applaud you!
For now, Act 1 - The Early Years is over, but the stage is set for a thrilling Act 2 - The Final years
