PERIOD 7:  "'Whatever inc' closing in on the leaders"

Period 7, the halfway point in the Competition, proved to be a successful one for the majority of the teams, with over 90% posting positive growth figures, and none more so than for "Whatever inc", who continued their meteoric rise up the table with a stunning 20% improvement, once more the best in the round, to surge another 8 places up the table and into second place, and within just 11 points of "Homelander", who held onto top spot after another solid round of 11% growth moved them onto 1,629 pts.

13% growth from "Wombat Earthworks" enabled them to move up 3 places to 3rd, with the "Good Success Co" staying put in 4th. The most impressive positional gain in the round came from the "Tegeny Group", whose 17% improvement catapulted them 16 places up the table from 21st to 5th. At the other end of the table the shareholders of "EPC11" will be relieved to see that their management team seem to have overcome a few areas of concern as they posted an impressive 18% improvement to clib well away from the foot of the table, and demonstrating once more what can be achieved in one period with effective decisions.
