Managing the Virgin group is a pretty full time job and we have developed a canny way of doing it that keeps it fresh and lively whatever the company does and wherever it is based.
At the centre, Virgin Management Ltd (VML) provides advisory and managerial support to all of the different Virgin companies and our specialist Sector teams around the world. Our people in London, New York and Sydney offer regional support and between us and the Sector teams we manage Virgin's interests across the whole of the Virgin Group.
VML's fastidious number-crunchers get to manage Virgin's financial assets in the group, our cheeky marketeers and spin doctors get to protect and maximise the value of the Virgin brand and our touchy-feely people teams ensure Virgin is an employer of choice
Seeing as the Virgin businesses are all so diverse and independent, we pretty much practice a collaborative and supportive style of custodianship. Some of us would like to wear special uniforms.
We give birth to new Virgin companies, encourage them to walk, hold their hands and then watch them on their way as they become fully-fledged members of the Virgin family. It can sometimes get quite emotional.
To help manage the growth and development of our Virgin family we have set up sector teams, each run by a Managing Partner. These bigwigs look after interests in aviation, media & telecom, financial services, health & wellness, leisure, and Green (clean technology) investments. The specialists keep our companies on their toes and ensure we keep developing better experiences and world beating products.
