Cut-price promotion

Al Fahim has certainly been successful in raising his profile and that of Hydra. However once Al Fahim's property ventures started to unravel, his employers were faced with a difficult challenge; how to sack their figurehead without undermining Hydra's image? They took the age-old way out and 'moved him upstairs' to the Board and dressed it up as a 'promotion'. Everyone's a winner, well, apart from Al Fahim if the rumours of a significant pay-cut are to be believed!
