What our people say

"What makes me happy here are the people I work with: they are smart and they are hard-working, but at the same time they are not afraid to have a laugh and they don't take themselves too seriously. One of my colleagues has a great saying: she says that at many companies you have to leave your personality at the door, but at Virgin you are encouraged to bring your own personality with you and to make your work a place you enjoy being a part of. I think that is what Virgin stands for".

"I love the diversity. We've got people from all walks of life that come together with one common goal and that is to get the hard work done … but then we really do like to enjoy ourselves and let our hair down; we know how to celebrate and you can leave your boredom at the door. If I was to give anybody some advice when they start off here at Virgin, it would be to hold on tight, because you are going to work hard, you are going to play hard, you are going to enjoy yourself, and you are going to make friends with people that you would never come across in other jobs".

"There is nothing that's not to love about Virgin! I come to work and have a great time, I work hard and play hard and I am surrounded by awesome people, it is fantastic.

If anyone is looking to work at Virgin I would give them the advice to come on in, be yourself and give it your full go and everyone will love you for it. It doesn't matter who you are, what you are, we all love each other, it is great".

"I love my team! We are all of varying ages and varying personalities, which makes life interesting every day. I love seeing us deliver our targets and hitting the results that the business wants (which we are doing!) - that's a huge thrill for me and my team.

What I would advise somebody coming on board is to be yourself, we have a whole range of personalities, we don't discriminate, we like people for who they are – so just be yourself and deliver on your promises".

"I love the flexibility in my particular role to not only work my own hours but to work from home if I need to. Plus I get to work and to mix with people from all across the business.

I would say to expect the unexpected. It is different, I have worked in mainstream organizations before and you tend to tow the line in a very autocratic type of environment, so being here is a lot different. You are encouraged to speak your mind and mingle with people who you probably normally wouldn't deal with in your day-to-day work".
