PERIOD 7:  "All change again at the top as 'SPARKS' take control"

Period 7 proved to be one of impressive growth figures for nearly every team, and none more so than the leaders at the end of period 5, "Pentagon", who reversed their slight decline in the previous round with an eye catching 19% improvement that lifted them back up to second. However, it was "SPARKS" who once more stole the headlines, continuing their previous surge up the table with a 18% growth than enabled them to climb 2 places into pole position with 1,612 pts.

Further down the table the best positional gain in the round came from "Momentum", with 15% growth and a 5 place gain that lifted them up to 8th. At the wrong end of the table the management team of "Bee winner" need to look carefully at their bidding strategy in order to win enough new work in period 8 to replenish their diminishing workload, or they could be called before their shareholders to explain the company's posiiton.
