The popular Business Challenge invites teams of all shapes and sizes from across the Midlands to compete for fastest-time trophies and those important bragging rights in the corporate community.
This year saw 30 teams taking part from a variety of sectors including media and PR, financial services, banking, law and the arts.
The four quickest collective times by participants are added up for each team to pick the overall winners and an engraved trophy is awarded for the winning team in each business size category (small, medium and large).
The 2018 10K Overall Winners were Mailbox-based BBC Digital England (Small Business), patenting and trade mark experts Marks & Clerk LLP (Medium Business) and the University of Birmingham’s UBSport team (Large Business).
