People of Today 2013

This definitive guide to Britain's meritocracy is the major biographical study of the UK's most influential and successful people.

What's Included?

Typically over 300 new entrants are hand-picked by Debrett's team of expert editors each year, in addition to over 20,000 amendments made to existing entries. Not all entrants are guaranteed a place in Debrett's People of Today for life, unlike certain other reference works, making it the most contemporary reference guide of its kind.

For each entrant a full biographical resume is presented - the person's correct title and decorations, date of birth, family history and education, recent position, achievements, career, recreations and clubs, and contact details.

Each resume also includes the entrant's preferred style of address, unique to Debrett's People of Today and therefore not available in any other publication.

Quite simply, only Debrett's People of Today brings this breadth and depth of information together in one place to provide a snapshot of those high achievers pre-eminent in their fields.

Additional Indices

Debrett's People of Today also includes several indices to complement the biographies and act as an invaluable comprehensive reference source in their own right.

These cover business, charities, civil service, clubs, education establishments, embassies, law, politics and other professional fields. Detailed contact information is provided for each of the above.

The indices enable the reader to search for the Chief Constable of a particular police force or CEO of a specific company without needing to know his or her name. Again, this is unique to Debrett's People of Today.
