Roger Carr, the head of the security and locks group Chubb, is to take over from Sir Ian Prosser as chairman of Six Continents, according to the Observer.
Prosser, who has chaired Six Continents, formerly called Bass, is on a contract that ends next year, when he is due to leave, but the Observer says there is "a possibility" he could go sooner.
Carr helped to found Williams Holdings with Sir Nigel Rudd, the millionaire businessman, in the 1970s. He is also a non-executive director at the drinks group Cadbury Schweppes and at Centrica, the supply arm of the former British Gas.
