Celebrating the Closing of Leeds UK Corporate Games 2024
Last Wednesday, company representatives, team leaders and sponsors gathered to celebrate the incredible achievements of the 2024 UK Corporate Games at the fine dining restaurant Tattu Leeds.

The 2024 Games marked the first time the event was held in Leeds, and what a success it was!

Reflecting on the impact of the Games, Ryan Johnson, UK Corporate Games, shared:
The 2024 Games in Leeds were nothing short of extraordinary. Seeing businesses come together through the power of sport and teamwork was inspiring. Bringing team leaders, athletes and award winners back to Leeds to celebrate was the perfect way to cap off such a successful year.
