SABMiller: Alan Clark Stepping in Early to Fill Graham’s Role

Dear Client:SABMiller announced this morning that it has accelerated the planned promotion of Alan Clark to chief executive with immediate effect. We are sad to report that current executive chairman Graham Mackay has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, therefore pushing Alan's promotion. Graham underwent surgery yesterday (April 22), and will now embark on a course of treatment.Recall that Alan was appointed chief operating officer in July 2012 with a view to succeed Graham as chief executive in July 2013
