Virgin is an excellent brand.

The good thing about the Virgin brand is no-one remembers the failures they only celebrate the successes.

Virgin Cola
Virgin Brides
Virgin Vie
Virgin Vision
Virgin Vodka
Virgin Wine
Virgin Jeans
Virgin Brides
Virgin Cosmetics
Virgin Cars
Virgin Money
Virgin Blue
V2

May not have all been absolute failures but certainly non-made any where near the returns expected and most are now no more.

but still we celebrate him, that's his genius.

Virgin Atlantic is held up on a pedestal by the British
Virgin Mobile wins awards every day
Virgin Rail is respected for being turned around
and I don't doubt that even Virgin Media will haul itself up out of the poo poo.

But don't think for one minute that it was Branson that turned it around. But he provides the vehicle, the brand.

ntl:telewest nobody gave a stuff about they were dirty words in customer service and quality.

But stick the Virgin brand over it and suddenly Sky got up and took notice suddenly they were a threat.
