Corporate Parent

• Adding Value as Corporate Parent– Brand Image – Central Services and Resources– Integration Opportunities – vertical & horizontal

integration– CSR Initiatives– Bureaucratic Complexities

• Moving Forward– Interfere in subsidiary business in cases of poor

performance

Moving into Banking Industry

• Acquisition of Northern Rock – Expanding Product Portfolio– Competitive Advantage

• 70 branches.

Continued Pursuit in Banking

• Easy Financial services to Virgin Subsidiaries

• Lower interest rates

Successor to Sir Richard Branson

• Challenges– Virigin’s corporate decisions steered by Richard.– Richard himself adds to the brand image of Virgin– Complex portfolio to manage

• Moving Forward– Delegating authority to leadership team– Richard as the mentor / chairman– Not making drastic decisions in the short term.
