Reece Parkinson, producer/broadcaster/content strategist at BBC News, is set to depart. His tweet reads:

“I will be leaving BBC Radio 1Xtra on March 27th. I started as an intern at 21, then 2 years later, got my first on-air show. The past 7 years have been incredible. I would like to extend my gratitude to the management, staff, and of course, the amazing listeners.

“I’m really proud to be shortly joining a world-class team working on scientific innovations, creating transformative medicines for people with serious diseases. It’s a really exciting time! Again, thanks to everyone that I’ve been lucky to work with at 1Xtra.”

Previously, Parkinson worked in London as a broadcaster and producer for Jacksonville Jaguars, World Mobile Group, Adidas and PUMA Group.

Parkinson graduated from the University of East London.
