ABOUT VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS

OUR INITIATIVES

Innovation, disruption, realisation...

As the largest business-to-business Virgin brand, we’re passionate about business and supporting businesses. And when we say ‘passionate’, we mean we’re prepared to put our money where our mouth is and support start-ups and disruptors with investment, advice, peer-to-peer support and mentoring.

As Richard Branson said: “Why do I invest in start-ups? Because they are the job creators and innovators of the future. I am delighted to see so many entrepreneurs taking their start-ups to the next level and transforming the way we do business. These businesses not only have the potential to become a vital source of employment, innovation and productivity to economies, they are a shining example to younger generations that creativity, passion and hard work can change the world for the better.”

“Why do I invest in start-ups? Because they are the job creators and innovators of the future.”
