Development Committee of the World Bank.
John Manser, Chairman of SABMiller plc, said:
“Trevor brings a wealth of experience to the board of SABMiller. His track record as one of
the world’s longest-serving finance ministers is exemplary and his experience of advising
multilateral organisations on emerging market development and sustainability will be a great
asset to the board.”
