UK Corporate Games Announces its return to Leeds for Back-to-Back Games
The UK Corporate Games is thrilled to announce its unprecedented return to Leeds for the 2025 Games, making it the first time in UK history that the event will be hosted in the same city for two consecutive years. Traditionally held in a different city across the UK each year, the decision to return to Leeds was made following overwhelming positive feedback from participants and company HR & wellbeing representatives.
Scheduled to take place 24th to 27th July 2025, the Games will once again be hosted by the impressive University of Leeds, with many of the city’s spectacular sports venues set to be used again. The 2024 Games saw remarkable participation and success, setting the stage for an even bigger and better event in 2025.
The 2025 Games will also see London North Eastern Railway (LNER) return as Headline Sponsors – David Flesher, Commercial Director at LNER, added:
Rail is unquestionably one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable ways to travel. With regular daily LNER services to and from Leeds, the train is the ideal way for participants and supporters to make their way to the UK Corporate Games.
The communities, towns, and cities we serve are important to us. We recognise the economic significance of events like this and are proud to play a part as the city prepares to welcome teams from around the UK and further afield.
The UK Corporate Games is the largest multi-sport festival for businesses, championing teamwork through sport. It welcomes companies of all sizes to compete in a wide range of sports and celebrations, fostering camaraderie, healthy competition, and networking opportunities. The event includes a diverse array of sports, such as dragon boat racing, football, netball, padel, golf, karting, running, cycling, and many more.
“We are absolutely delighted to bring the UK Corporate Games back to Leeds for another year,” said Doug White, Games Director. “The feedback we received following this year’s event is incredibly positive, and it’s clear that Leeds is the perfect location to host the Games once more. The city’s enthusiasm, coupled with the first-class facilities at the University of Leeds, made our decision easy.”
Sam Glenister-Batey, Deputy Director of Commercial and Business Development at The University of Leeds is also excited about hosting the Games for a second consecutive year.
“Following the resounding success of this year’s event, we are absolutely delighted that the University of Leeds has once again been selected by the UK Corporate Games to host the 2025 event. This repeat selection is not only a reflection of the outstanding facilities, meticulous organisation and vibrant community spirit that we showcased during the 2024 Games, but also a recognition of our commitment to excellence in every aspect of event hosting.
At the University of Leeds, we take immense pride in our world-class sports facilities, such as The Brownlee Centre, the UK’s first purpose-built triathlon training centre and The Edge, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellbeing complex. These venues, alongside our experienced Conferences and Events team, have enabled us to successfully host prestigious events. We are confident that our infrastructure and expertise will once again provide the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable UK Corporate Games in 2025.
The Games core values of inclusivity, community and equality are integral to creating a truly unique and memorable experience, ensuring that participants of all levels and abilities feel welcomed and inspired throughout the event.
