Level 3 Illustration students at Hull College have been unleashing their creativity to produce original artworks to feature in a winter themed art trail around the city centre this Christmas.

A woman who took her first steps into the world of work as a nervous apprentice 10 years ago urged other young people to “go for it” after her employers made a presentation to mark the special anniversary.

Four young people from Hull have started careers in the creative sector as “trailblazers” of a pioneering programme designed to help shape the city’s future arts and culture workforce.

Hull College celebrated the achievements of its graduating students in a memorable ceremony held at Hull Minster on Tuesday 4th November, where two highly respected local figures - Kathryn Shillito, Executive Director at Hull BID, and Andy Sykes, Plant Director at Siemens Gamesa - were each presented with the Order of Distinction in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the city and region.

Hull’s community-owned pub The New Clarence has coupled pints with the planet by joining the region’s Oh Yes! Net Zero campaign.

Commercial property developer Wykeland Group has secured Pizza Express for the ground floor of Hull’s historic Burton House.

Pizza Express is one of the UK’s most-loved and successful restaurant brands, and is taking a prime position in the city’s art deco landmark, which has undergone a stunning rejuvenation to restore it to its original 1930s glory.
