Sporting spirit
When it comes to sports, Leeds has an awesome track record... a strong sporting heritage. From rugby, cricket and football to swimming, athletics and golf, Tour de Yorkshire. The list goes on.
Moda is an official sponsor of this year's Leeds Sports Awards.
As a Yorkshire based, family run business with one of our biggest residential neighbourhoods in construction here in Leeds... We're thrilled to be able to immerse ourselves within the local community!
Happy, healthy and connected communities is what we do... for our residents, team Moda and the neighbourhood.
Supporting new sporting talent in the region is top of our list and resonates well with the Moda brand values.
Moda also sponsors the Leeds Rhinos netball Super League team. Cheering the squad on from home whilst watching on Sky Sports.
