CADCentre team wins business game
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE WINNER of the 1992 UEA Business and Investment Game, announced on Saturday, was a team from CADCentre, a computer-aided design company.
The team, consisting of Pete Campbell, Mike Sever, Nick Wagg and Dugald Wilson, ended the game, which is sponsored by Norwich Union in association with the Independent, with a notional pounds 9.87m. This was pounds 47,000 ahead of the runner-up, GMC, a group from London.
Engineering consultants Knight Piesold from Ashford were in third place.
A group of teenagers from the South-east Essex VI Form College in Benfleet came fifth. The college has been successful in the game on two previous occasions.
The plate competition, a consolation round for those who did not excel in the main game, was won by Stephen Leadbetter from Stevenage, who is unemployed. Despite playing on his own he ended the game with a notional pounds 12.66m.
Teams from industrial companies, noticeable by their absence from the final of the main game, came second and third.
They were from Hunslet Transportation Projects and Rover Group in Oxford. Anyone wanting to take part in next year's games should contact David Ward, Business and Investment Management Game, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ.
