We are incredibly sad to hear our dear friend Alan Reekie has passed away.

Alan made everyone he met feel welcome. Whether he was popping in to say hi, or hosting an event, he always had a cheery smile and an amusing anecdote at the ready and had an incredible depth of knowledge about all things performing arts.

He was awarded a Queens Service Medal in 2021, recognising a lifetime of voluntary work in arts governance roles at The PumpHouse and other organisations. He had been Secretary of our Trust Board since 2007, and Treasurer from 2011 to 2014 – all as a volunteer.

Alan was a much-loved and special part of The PumpHouse team. We take solace that he has now joined his good lady, Joan who passed away on 24th June, 2024. We will dearly miss his wit, his wisdom and his friendship.
