“When I started at Virgin Mobile I saw a poster that said, “I joined Virgin because I wanted rock ‘n’ roll, I wanted the big challenge, the big job, the big car, but I wanted rock‘n’roll as well”, and it came from a finance director! I can’t imagine anyone less rock ‘n’ roll than the average finance director, but that’s the beauty of Virgin. We break with the norms and attract some beautifully funky people, and the people are what makes working at Virgin so much fun. As Richard Branson says, more than any other element, fun is the secret to Virgin’s success.”

Ashleigh Haynes-Holyoake (Executive Assistant)
“I love the fact that individuality is celebrated. You can actually have a personality at work, rather than it being dictated by a suit. We spend a huge percentage of time at work so everyone makes an effort to create a second family here. Our culture is “people first” so we all feel that we’re backed 100%. We can party together, get on with each other, but still get the work done. There’s always the fight for the underdog, whether that’s with your immediate team or the public.

Clint Scobie (Learning and Development Consultant)
“The people here are what make working at Virgin amazing, they’re so inspiring. It’s have a laugh, but work hard as well. Laid back, once the work gets done. I love the brand recognition at this organisation. When you tell people you work for Virgin, they instantly know what it’s like. The Brand Values are so in tune with our People Values.”

Timo Beech (Tech Support Point of Contact)
What’s wonderful about working at Virgin Mobile? It’s about the smell of lavender in the afternoon that emanates from the Customer Service Manager’s desk in the Autumn months. It’s the twinkle in a child’s eye when you tell them Uncle Timo works for VMA. It’s the hot flushes you get when Richard Branson gives you a high 10 in the call centre. It’s the fact that you can call the Customer Service Manager at any time, even at 4am, and he’ll come pick you up and bring you back home. But most of all, it’s about the hugs… being held tight when the bad times happen…being held tight…that’s what it’s all about.

Leah Middlemass (Communications Co-ordinator)
Virgin Mobile is a truly unique and dynamic workplace. Here you’re surrounded by a team of incredibly talented and inspiring people. They are passionate, supportive and most of all FUN! Virgin peeps both work hard and play hard, remaining true to the Virgin Values throughout. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with projects like V Festival and Virgin Unite and to top it off this company sure knows how to throw a super party :)
