City Diary: A few changes may help Christian Candy sweeten the Sugar Quay deal Given that Candy took on the Qatari government - and won - in his High Court set-to over Chelsea Barracks, Diary imagines this shouldn't prove too much of a stretch. A little-known fact about Alan Clark as he prepares to succeed Graham Mackay as head of SABMiller. The brewing giant's dark-horse current chief operating officer is a clinical psychologist by trade - he holds a doctorate in psychology from the University of South Africa. Expect some profound insights on beer at Clark's maiden AGM in July. Oliver whets SW1 appetites Good news for gourmands located around the London transport interchange, Victoria. Jamie Oliver has signed a lease with Land Securities to take over a 7,700 sq ft space in the developer's Kings Gate site. All being well, the two-floor gastro-haunt will open next year, and Oliver's team tells Diary that the TV chef will have a clearer idea of the nature of the restaurant "by the end of the summer." Lunch options for the staff of Microsoft, Jimmy Choo and Burberry, all based in the SW1 environs, just became rather more appetising. Farewell to the wonderfully named Franciscus Johannes Carolus Overtoom, who has departed as group finance director of Selfridges & Co. But Overtoom's time at the high-end department store was always going to be brief. He was filling in as interim CFO for James Skelton, installed in the post last month from a more prosaic corner of the retail world - the DIY business B&Q. Bad ad for Aviva investment Raised eyebrows among Aviva shareholders as the insurer gave the excuse of implementing a "turnaround strategy" for slashing the dividend. "Will Aviva still find the money for those appalling Paul Whitehouse adverts?" wondered one reader. I never understood the point they are trying to (expensively) make. Aviva is still a "buy" in Citi's eyes, though - a "top pick for the insurance sector," no less. "After the initial reaction, we believe the market will respond more positively to the commitment to greater transparency," scribbled the bank's top analysts, as Aviva shares plunged 13pc. Friends in high places for Ros Altmann, until recently the director-general of Saga. "I've always used the phrase 'magic money tree" to explain the unreality of pensions thinking," tweeted the government adviser. Honoured that [the] PM now using it for econ[omy]. Or was Cameron's eye simply caught by the phrase "magic money"? A true wheelie-dealer's way down to Cannes Most wheeler-dealers arrive at Mipim, the property jamboree on the French Riviera, by private jet or yacht. Not staff at Broadgate Estates - they are travelling to next week's Cannes event by bike, setting off on a 1,500km (932 miles) odyssey yesterday. Olympic medallist Lizzie Armitstead will join them for the final stage, while Boris Johnson - whose travel plans remain unclear - will meet the charity cyclists "when they reach Cannes." With a large pastis in hand, presumably - the Mayor of London's role is to highlight Mipim's importance as a venue for "networking."
