Article Abstract:

Two people at the head of a company can be a powerful force as is shown by a number of examples in UK businesses. Gordon White and James Hanson have been successful at the head of Hanson which they turned into a multinational. Ann Gloag and Brian Souter are a sister and brother team who have built up Stagecoach. The success of such partnerships depends on personalities as well as whether the skill mix is adequate. Such partnerships can prosper because there is another person with whom to talkabout business ideas.
