News about Simon Wright

A father-of-two died on his morning commute after two fighting cats cut across his bike and got caught in the wheels, causing him to fall off without wearing a helmet. Chris Reeves, 52, a Network Rail signaller from Rugby, Warwickshire, was airlifted to Walsgrave Hospital (UHCW) in Coventry with a severe brain injury after the accident but he died surrounded by friends and family five days later. His son Dominic Reeves (seen with his father, left, and as a young boy, inset) described the freak accident as being 'unimaginably unfair' and said his father was a 'big, soft friendly giant' who 'deserves the very best'. 

This is the moment a 'selfish' drunk-driver in Wiltshire lost control of his car and careered into oncoming traffic with two children onboard. Simon Wright, from Malmesbury, is seen losing control of his Audi RS4 on dashcam footage from the vehicle he crashed into head-on. The 43-year-old went skidding across the B4042 in his £70,000 motor after overtaking two cars as he exited a roundabout at speed.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Your average market pig weighs about 300 lb (135 kg), while others may reach 900 lb (410 kg). They now fall within the range of the most common flying species, Quetzalcoatlus northropi. This is thought to have ranged from 300 lb to 500 kg (135 kg 225 kg). It had an estimated wingspan of 30 to 35 ft (9 m to 10.5 m). However, Q. northropi was physically different from a pig. It was hollow-boned, stood a little less than a giraffe, and acted like a giant heron. Perhaps a better bet would be to compare our pig to a light plane. Jim Bede, a small, single-seat home-built plane, was built in the Bede BD-5, a late 1960s, a U.S. aircraft designer.

Mr O'Kane has been earning the attention of the company's executive committee for the past six years, earning the company's nickname,'millionaires' factory,' in 2017. He's been with Macquarie since 1995 and earned $57.6 million in the bank's 2023 financial year. His pay packet exceeded that of Macquarie Bank CEO Shemara Wikramanayake, whose total 'award remuneration' for 2023 was just $32.8 million by comparison. Despite Mr O'Kane's remarkable fortune, he has remained relatively out of the public eye, with several people surprised about his sudden departure from Macquarie, which was revealed on Tuesday.

Nick O'Kane, the Australian investment bank, would step down as the head of its commodities and international markets (CGM) division on February 27 in a surprise announcement. O'Kane, who has worked with Macquarie for almost three decades, will 'pursue opportunities outside of the company.' Simon Wright, who heads the CGM financial markets arm, will replace him.
