THE FINAL RESULT:  "Veni, vidi, vici! for 'Aspire Build'"

"I Came, I Saw, I Conquered". Way back in history, Julius Caesar's sent those famous words in a message back to the Roman Senate in recognition of an overwhelming victory. And so it was for "Aspire Build", who deservedly became the Birmingham City University Enginuity 2025 Competition (a) Champions with a highly impressive finishing score of 1,805 pts, and a decisive margin of victory of 260 points. Ultimately their success owed much to them demonstrating one of the guiding principles in running a successful business, consistency, having led the competition for all of the 5 rounds.

Behind the Champions there was a titanic struggle with only 100 points separating positions 2 to 8. "Elite Construction" climbed 3 places to become this year's Runners Up, but not too far behind were "Space-trace Constructions" in 3rd, and "Fusion Bridge" posted the best results in the final round with 18% growth that enabled them to climb 4 places to 4th.

In the final analysis all but one of the teams finished with stronger, more sustainable companies than when they took over in period 5, a testament to the skill and application shown by the management teams in what was a roller coaster of a journey through 5 simulated quarters of management.
