Leeds once again hosted the UK Corporate Games, with over 75 companies taking part in a weekend packed with competitive sporting events. The festival, now in its second year at the University of Leeds, attracted more than 2,000 competitors to showcase their skills in activities ranging from dragon boat racing to padel, karting, and golf.
Following the success of the previous year, organisers decided to return to Leeds, a city well-known for its top-tier sporting infrastructure. Over 800 guests stayed in the University’s accommodation, and the event saw the University of Leeds secure second place in the medal tally, with 39 awards across events such as squash, cycling, and badminton.
The games highlighted the increasing involvement of local businesses and university staff in sports. Local stakeholders and businesses played a crucial role in making the event a success, ensuring the city remained a hub for corporate sporting events.
With its world-class facilities, Leeds has solidified its reputation as a prime location for hosting large-scale sports events, positioning itself as a city that can handle major corporate gatherings with ease.
