Miles Pickard, Director of Pickard Properties, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be sponsoring Varsity 2025 and excited to continue our support of student sports in Leeds. It’s always an event that brings the whole student community together, and we are proud to play a part in that.
“The atmosphere throughout Varsity is nothing short of electrifying, with students from all backgrounds coming together to compete at an incredibly high level. The standard of play across all the disciplines is impressive, and we expect nothing less this year. Varsity 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling and competitive three days of sport, filled with passionate performances and unforgettable moments for everyone involved.
“Beyond the excitement of the competition itself, sport offers an important outlet for students, particularly when it comes to their mental health and well-being. It’s a fantastic way for them to stay active, form connections, and take a break from academic pressures. We firmly believe in the power of sport to positively impact students’ lives, and we are incredibly proud to be supporting an event that provides such a valuable experience for all participants.”
Josephine Mannion, Student Sport Manager at Leeds Beckett University, and co-lead organiser of Leeds Varsity, said, “We are really excited to have Pickard Properties once again show their support for Leeds Varsity.
“Pickard has been incredibly supportive of the event in recent history, and their sponsorship allows us to provide a fantastic event.”
Lydia Shale, Activities and Opportunities Officer at Leeds University Union said, “Varsity is one of the biggest dates in the student calendar and is a great opportunity for students to show pride for their University and Leeds. “This year we are hoping to engage more students than ever, thank you to Pickard for helping us to put on another great event.”
