Hammonds' family affair

They used to say that behind every strong man is an even more ruthless woman - think Peter and Jordan, Sir Paul and Heather (for a bit) and, of course, Bill and Hillary.Indeed, it seems likely that at least a few of the Clintonistas backing Hills for the White House are motivated in part by a yearning for the second coming of the saxophonist former Prez and legendary non-inhaler.

They used to say that behind every strong man is an even more ruthless woman – think Peter and Jordan, Sir Paul and Heather (for a bit) and, of course, Bill and Hillary.

Indeed, it seems likely that at least a few of the Clintonistas backing Hills for the White House are motivated in part by a yearning for the second coming of the saxophonist former Prez and legendary non-inhaler.

Meanwhile, Hammonds has just named its first-ever chief operations officer, Sue Nickson – whom Hammonds enthusiasts may know is the wife of former senior partner Richard 'Montgomery' Burns, who stepped down from the national firm's top job in 2006 mid-way through his second term.

Whether Richard joined her on the campaign trail prior to her appointment is not yet known.
