Designed as a fun team-building exercise, the Master Merchant final took place in Ingleton, Yorkshire where teams of four competed against each other in a series of activities from code breaking to abseiling, testing each teams creative and practical abilities.
This year's contest was extremely close, with the team from Brett, named the Dead Poets Society, winning by a margin of just three points.
According to Gerry Childs, team organiser and Regional Sales Manager at Brett, preparation was key to their success.
He said: "We finished second last year, so it was fantastic to win".
"This year we were better prepared and had an idea of what types of challenges to expect".
"One member of our team even lost a stone in weight, while training between the heats and the final, to help him compete in some of the more physically demanding tasks!.
The Master Merchant Challenge is a great way to network and establish new business contacts".
"I would dare other merchants and suppliers to try and beat the Brett team next year." Barry Heal, divisional manager of construction at MOL, presented the team with their award at BMF Members Day.
He said: "We are very proud to sponsor such a successful event and hope to continue our support of the Master Merchant Challenge in future years".
