In a dramatic final round it was "YMCA" who held off a strong challenge from their nearest rivals to emerge as the University of Manchester Enginuity 2025 Champions with a very impressive finishing score of 1,749 pts. Ultimately their success owed much to them demonstrating one of the guiding principles in running a successful business, consistency, having led the competition for 4 of the 5 rounds.

The Final Round saw 10 of the 14 teams post positive growth figures, and none more so than "High Five" with a stunning 20% improvement that enabled them to climb 8 places up the table into 4th place, and only 10 points behind "Barbies", who once more kept Ken happy as they finished 3rd, with "No Eye Deer" moving up one place to become this year's Runners Up.

In the final analysis all 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.
