Management
Today investigates the phenomenon and identifies Britain's
premier partnerships.
Forget the trophy wife and the trailing spouse. Tony and
Cherie, Tina and Harold, even Posh and Becks all go to show
that power shared is power doubled. Once confined to media
and celebrity circles, power couples are now spreading to
business and the professions. The July edition of Management
Today (published Thursday 1 July 1999) looks at the social
trends which have bred these power pairings and names the
couples that have the biggest influence on modern Britain.

So what marks out the successful power couple? First, they
are rich - they work in areas where there is big money at
stake and big salaries to be earned. While it is possible
that neither will be a household name, they will be among
the cream of their chosen profession. They control the destiny
of other people's jobs and futures and their power
will often extend outside the workplace.
