T
he business world has seen a num-
ber of corporate marriages rise and
fall – synergy in couples does not
necessarily imply success as business
partners. Some have claimed a ‘happily
ever after’ status; others have parted ways.
Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and
Stefano Gabbana separated after more
than two decades of romantic and en-
trepreneurial collaboration. When Burt’s
Bees’ co-founders Burt Shavitz and Rox-
anna Quimby separated, the company be-
came the archetypal child of divorce.
Even amongst those who achieved suc-
cess in matrimony and business, rough
seas have led to rickety sailing. In the case
of Clayton and Sue Scott of Kamloops-
based CSC Electric Ltd., devotion to the
trade and dogged determination have al-
lowed them to ride the waves, securing
both personal and professional success.
