Hull Truck Theatre has received the Best Performing Arts Venue Award in Hull and East Yorkshire at the SME News Yorkshire and the Humber Enterprise Awards 2018. 

The Yorkshire and the Humber Enterprise Awards aims to recognise the small to medium companies that have a positive impact on their customers in one of England’s most instrumental economic regions. 

The Yorkshire & the Humber Enterprise Awards operates under a merit-based judging system which ensures all shortlisted organisations, regardless of their size and/or longevity, are assessed fairly and thoroughly. 

Katherine Benton, Award Coordinator, said: “Home to one of Britain’s most diverse economies, and containing cities established as leading centres of trade, Yorkshire and the Humber boasts a collection of traditional and modern businesses who are dedicated to promoting excellence within their industry. I am proud of all my winners and wish them the very best of luck for the future.” 

Ruth Puckering, Interim Executive Director at Hull Truck Theatre, said: “We’re constantly striving to fulfil our vision of being a pioneering and inspiring theatre with a unique northern voice. Making high-quality work which resonates with our audiences is central to what we do, therefore being acknowledged as the Best Performing Arts Venue in the region is a real achievement.”
