Wesley Smith, the news presenter for central News at Six (South) has tonight celebrated his 15th year presenting the programme. Tonight Hannah Stewart-Jones produced a short report on his highlights whilst at the Abingdon newsroom. We got to see his past co-presenters such as Anne Dawson, who presented with him for 13 years, Geraldine Peers, Claire Holt and Kate Garraway.
Laurie Upshon, Controller of News stated that he was with Wesley on the first day he started in television. They were certain from the start that they had a star on their hands. He was described as the ultimate professional, dedicated and scrupulous to detail.
Having watched Wesley present Central News South for the last 15 years, it is clear that those comments from Laurie Upshon are true. He is truely the best regional presenter, either BBC or ITV. Just a shame he doesn't present national programmes. Maybe we will see him reading the national news one day? Who knows???
