Deloitte 2010 Prize for MDP 1


Deloitte, one of the biggest firms in the professional services arena, sponsored a prize for the best holiday project report and presentation in MDP 1 in the 2009-10 academic year. The top three teams from MDP 1 gave their presentations at the Deloitte Glasgow office on Thursday 6th May 2010.

The winning team was "Golf @ the Home of Golf" (Team 10B) consisting of Adam McKnight, Niall Grant, Sobhan Afzal, Christopher Craig and Thomas Walton. A £50 Buchanan Galleries vouchers was received by each team member from Deloitte.

Runners up were teams 1C and 5H. Team 1C - "Spring Break" – consisted of Simon Fleming, Colin Jordan, Amie MacLean, Guy Ramsbottom and Hannebo Tay. Team 5H was "Adrenaline Junkies" – Fraser Porteous, Lorna Burrows, Jim Boyle Deloitte, Kari Gourlay, Alex Speers, Seonaid MacDonald and Ryan Thomson. A Buchanan Galleries voucher was received by each team member from Deloitte.

Jim Boyle, Partner at Deloitte, said the following in relation to the students competing for the Deloitte prize.

We were once again hugely impressed by the quality and range of great ideas this year. Myself and my team really enjoyed meeting the finalists in our boardroom and sitting in on the many heats on campus. It is great to see these first year students present with such polish, composure and passion and I have no doubts that their number includes a number of Scotland's future business leaders. In a year where "staycations" have been very popular and there is a focus on supporting the local economy it was very fitting that a traditional Scottish-based holiday theme emerged as this year's winning entry.
