It's been an honour and a privilege." Originally hailing from Australia, Aaron has been a staple on BBC business news since 2002, presenting across all their television channels. His journalism journey began as a news reporter for Prime Television/Seven Network in Sydney and Canberra.
Fellow BBC Breakfast presenter Ben Thompson paid a heartfelt tribute to Aaron, sharing a throwback photo of the pair. He captioned the post: "From the day I arrived at the BBC, you've been a brilliant friend, not just a colleague. Thank you for all the words of wisdom, the many wines (see attached) and for making me laugh most days for twenty years.
We will miss you hugely." Reacting to Ben Thompson's post, Aaron tweeted: "OMG - @BenThompsonTV that's too funny. We've all had such an amazing and fun time.
Mine are over at the BBC - but you my dear matey have many more great years ahead of you. And when you need a break you can come visit Rach and I on that islan.
