Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

He does not own or run Virgin Media. he just gets paid by Telewest/NTL a sum of money as payment to use the Virgin brand name.

Can we make this a sticky?

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

why should it be made as sticky? does it bare any relevance to the service and who actually owns the name and runs the company?

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

may i ask whats the point? doesn't he hold shares?

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

He never owned VM.
The Virgin name and his name are used to market NTL Groups business. The rebranding hoped to give the company a better reputation.

No. It makes no difference if people think he is or not. For some reason it appears a number of people get annoyed when it is suggested but it's hardly cause for concern.

If you feel that strongly about it why not put something in your sig about it?

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

I keep seeing and reading Virgin customers blaming Richard for what's going on at Virgin Media. if it was a sticky then they would know that he doesn't own the company.

If it wasn't an abuse of my modding stuff I'd be adding 'I couldn't give a smeg' option....

I just don't see what difference it makes.

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

He owns about 10%

Fair enough if you don't see that it makes a difference or not, but I think it would make a difference by people not writing to him instead of writing to Virgin.

I don't like clutter :)

Apart from the poll this is a duplicate thread as to THIS THREAD only a few months old, and I'm sure that if you go further back they'll be lots more threads

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

It's just a shame it's not another valid (in my opinion anyway) option that isn't on the poll.

So I had to voice it in the thread.

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

stop making threads then ;)

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

Mr. Branson own 10.7% of Virgin Media (Not 10%).

Re: Richard Branson does not own Virgin Media.
 

:) I like getting people talking. people don't talk to each other enough in this country.
