OVs in News Collaboration

We are always thrilled when we hear about collaborations between OVs, and this week, we were delighted to hear that Phil Mackie (Cl 73-83) was interviewed by ABC NewsRadio Australia, where OV Anna Pykett (Os 02-09) is a national news reader and producer.

Phil works as a news correspondent for the BBC in the Midlands and was reporting on the latest stabbings in Birmingham; you can hear his report here.

It’s not the first time the pair have worked together. Before making the move to Australia Anna worked at BBC 5 live in Salford, where they often crossed paths.

Anna said: ‘It was great to get fellow OV, Phil on air in Australia. Whilst I love my job in sunny Sydney I miss my hometown Malvern and running on the hills. Enjoy lovely Worcester.’
