Competition: Initial Result


So, we made it to the final -can't still believe we actually made it to the final! It's the world's biggest competition in Real Estate (and Finance) according to Mr. Dan Quan, which is absolutely incredible! - Maria

Sat round the lunch table and Dan Quan stands up to announce the finalists. We had all just said that we were quite happy not to present again. Round 1 we'd been up against China and Cambridge and while we were confident with our performance we weren't convinced we were better than them although we hadn't seen their presentations. The initial round had been in 5 different rooms and therefore 5 teams, one from each group, would be in the final. Working through the rooms finalists were announced...our room, 'Exchange Hub South' was called and then...'MaitlandGroup'!! 

We were stunned! Alina screamed and we all looked at each other as if it was some kind of joke. Fabiano, one of the judges, was sat at our table with us and she said: "well done guys, you deserve it and I didn't even give it away" 

Order drawn- we were 4th. Just over an hour to reassemble, take on the feedback and be ready to present to the whole panel of 18 judges and all the other teams who had stayed to watch. - Hannah
