A day in the life

Here is the story of a day in my life, running around London meeting our fantastic Virgin staff.

  RB Limitless Prem

Having flown in from the premiere of Virgin Produced’s first production, Limitless (you may seen the film’s cheeky ads on the Tube) I made it to London.

An hour later I hurried across the road to Bloomsbury to visit the team at Assura Medical to find out about their progress.

Assura Medical celebrated their first birthday as part of the Virgin family last week – so it was only right we got a cake to celebrate.

I also got chance for a quick coffee and a chat – something to keep my energy up for the afternoon ahead!

No rest for the wicked, I then popped into the Virgin Active gym in Mayfair, just to surprise them.

After a tour conducted by some lovely Virgin Active staff, we even broke out the bubbly to make it an extra special occasion.

Then I zipped over to Virgin Media to meet more of our brilliant staff.

They gave me a demonstration on the extraordinary TiVo, which I was extremely impressed with.

There was still time to meet the press and then film a video to congratulate our young entrepreneur community Virgin Media Pioneers on its first birthday.

After reminiscing about Virgin Records with the Virgin.com team, Finally, I unwound after a hectic but fascinating day by enjoying dinner with my family.
