The five finalists, were chosen by a panel of staff and academic judges, and gave a 10 minute presentation last night.

Amongst this years’ finalists, were ICMA Centre student Huaxin Shen, BSc Finance & Investment Banking, & Junda Zeng, MSc Real Estate Finance, who delivered a very interesting presentation that explored the costs of maintaining an ethical supply chain.

The winner was Abhishek Mandal, Full-time MBA, who received the most votes from the audience at the event and the prize is £1,250 to share between him and his chosen charity (£250 for the winner/s, £1,000 for the charity/ies.).

Congratulations to all teams for their effort and to the winner of this year’s competition!
