Bangor Business School’s IBM success

This year our IBM Business Challenge teams have yet again done us proud. Last year we entered three teams, one of which made it through to the semis. This year we entered four teams that were put together following a formal and rigorous interview process, of which we had over forty applicants. Our four teams were led by Sarah Graham, Henry Ye, Chris Coe and Leah Jones.

This year’s competition got tougher with all universities ‘upping their antes’ and entering more teams. Out of the 250 teams in Round 1 only the top 80 teams went through to the semi-finals. Dr Clair Doloriet of Bangor Business School said: “This year all four of our teams made it through, which when compared with the likes of Liverpool University who entered twelve teams (with six going through) demonstrates the quality, commitment and determination of our teams.”
