Northern Rock

[Muniflex]

Apparently, Billionaire Richard C. Branson is front runner for taking over the Northern Rock after the whole money loss disaster!

He makes a success out of everything else so why not this?!
Good luck to him, Lol

Hmmm, Virgin Megastores must of been rubbish or not worth anything and their broadband packages don't live up to their expectations.

Personally, I can see it not doing that well, but the future holds the answers I guess :)

[Aflux]

He's buying it for pittance so he can't loose.

[jrh2002]

He seems to know the right time to buy and sell so good luck to him :)
He sold Virgin Radio
I am pretty sure he sold Virgin Megastore (all of them lol) a couple of years back?

His mobile phone company never took off how he hoped though.

[shiver]

me thinks he should invest his money to bring back virgin cola.

[Corporal]

What virgin product does he actually still own?
Only the airline isnt it?

[Sarah]

He doesnt even own virgin media anymore..
some scottish company bought it. No doubt northan rock will become apart of the ''virgin money'' group..?

What the hell, when did that happen? And he never owned Virgin Media, he was just the largest shareholder.

uhm.. a few months ago the scottish group want to change the name, and cut off all things to do with virgin but they didnt in the end because it would cause too much confusion.

I would of thought they kept it due to the good brand image that comes with the name aswell.

[Technologic]

Virghin do eveything now "/

Even sports centres

[Zuar]

well i don't think virgin would do it for anything, they must be doing it for profit and customers with prob lose out.
