Virgin Group Ltd. is a British multinational venture capital conglomerate founded by Richard Branson and Nik Powell in February 1970.

Virgin Group's date of incorporation is listed as 1989 by Companies House , who class it as a holding company ; however Virgin's business and trading activities date back to the 1970s. The net worth of Virgin Group was estimated at £5–5.5 billion as of November 2014. [ needs update ]

The name "Virgin" arose in 1970 when Richard Branson and Nik Powell formed a record shop , first as mail order and in 1971 with a physical store. [2] They considered themselves virgins in business. [3] Branson has described the "V" in the logo as an expressive tick , representing the Virgin seal of approval. [3]

The original logo from 1973 was a completely different design intended to be used for the record company that was founded by Richard Branson and Nik Powell . The logo was designed by British science-fiction artist and designer Roger Dean . According to Richard Branson in interviews and on the Virgin website, the more recent signature logo, introduced in 1978, was based on one that a designer scribbled on a napkin after a design meeting. [4] [5]

Virgin Group has its headquarters at The Battleship Building in the Paddington district of the City of Westminster . [6] Previously it was in The School House, Brook Green , in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham . [7]

The Virgin Group of companies have a complex structure that contains elements of a generic conglomerate and a keiretsu , and sometimes it simply licences its brand. Examples of licensing are Virgin Records and Virgin Media , which are owned by Universal Music Group and Liberty Global respectively. [ citation needed ]

In mid-May 2013, the Virgin Group expressed its intention to seek out opportunities in Australia's healthcare industry to consolidate on the Group's Australian fitness centres. The Group also runs over 100 National Health Service (NHS) services in the United Kingdom and the healthcare division of medical services group Assura after entering the British healthcare industry in 2011. [8]

Virgin Group announced the establishment of Virgin Voyages on 4 December 2014 with financial backing from Bain Capital . The cruise line would be led by CEO Tom McAlpin , would have two new large ships built and be based in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. [9] [10]

Virgin StartUp is the Virgin Group's non-profit company, helping entrepreneurs across the UK to start, fund and scale their business. In 2013, Sir Richard visited Boxpark in Shoreditch, London, to launch the new organisation, revealing that he wanted to support anyone that had the same dreams and ambitions that he did as a young boy: “It was £300 from my mum that sparked the Virgin adventure 40 years ago. Today, young people need that same help and I believe Virgin StartUp will provide it – with access to early capital, strong mentorship, advice and promotion.” [11]

The organisation became a delivery partner for the UK Government's Start Up Loans Company, [12] providing loan finance of between £500 and £25,000, advice, and mentoring to thousands of start-ups across the country. In 2016, it was awarded European Regional Development Funding [13] and subsequently launched Ready, Steady, Grow with Virgin StartUp, a programme of support aimed at start-ups that were ready to grow. A year later, it launched the UK's first equity-based crowdfunding accelerator programme, Crowdboost. [14]

By 2018, the organisation had supported over 11,000 UK-based entrepreneurs, with over £35m in pre-seed funding. [ citation needed ]

In 2014, Branson and Virgin StartUp launched the "Foodpreneur" food and drink focused start-up competition. Winners received mentorship from Branson, legal support, and brand counseling. [15] The 2014 winners included Proper Beans, Killer Tomato, Sweetpea Pantry, and Sweet Virtues.

In 2015, winners were given the opportunity to pitch Target Corporation buyers in the US. The 2015 winners included Pip & Nut, Double Dutch Drinks, Harry Bromptons, Cauli Rice, and Mallow and Marsh. [16]

Only one start-up was announced winner of the 2017 Foodpreneur prize, The Snaffling Pig Co ., who won a six-week rental space at Intu Lakeside, the retail center with the highest foot traffic in the U.K. [17]

The parent company, Virgin Group Holdings Ltd, is registered in the British Virgin Islands . Richard Branson and his family hold a £2.7 billion stake in this offshore, tax-free, tax haven company.

The group's health business received significant media coverage over its legal battle with NHS groups. It sued clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Surrey after it lost out on an £82 million contract to provide children's health services across the country. The NHS bodies settled out of court with a £328,000 payout to Virgin Care, resulting in some controversy. More than 100,000 people backed a petition calling on the company to stop "dragging the NHS through the courts". [25] [26]

In 2019, it was discovered that cell phones being sold by Virgin subsidiary company Assurance Wireless came with unremovable Chinese malware preinstalled. [27] [28] [29]

Dreaming of beautiful days spent relaxing in the sun? All of Virgin Voyages ’ Caribbean itineraries make a stop at Bimini, where Sailors can chill out at the private Beach Club. And once you’ve seen the photos of the white sand beaches and beautiful blue sea, we’re sure you’ll be booking your next trip.
Sitting on the westernmost part of the Bahamian Islands, Bimini is the far less-visited port, home to a more intimate and visceral heartbeat.
At the Beach Club at Bimini, Sailors can sit back and watch the waves of the impossibly neon turquoise water lap upon the shore of a seemingly untouched beach.
Or, you can relax with restorative options like beachside yoga classes and lounging by the pool in a private cabana.
As the day winds down with a beachside bonfire, the night gives way to a vibrant-coloured sunset.

Just like everything about everyone of us whether male or female everything will be slightly different, there is no set standard what a virgin vagina should look like just like there isn't a set standard what a virgin penis looks like.
When you say you see a hole when you look at your vagina do you mean when you have your legs apart and spread your labia because that would be a normal thing to see, your hymen can break many ways with out having intercourse or inserting anything from simple things such a horse riding riding a bicycle or stretching exercises Vietnam stretches the pelvis. Your long labia minora is also a natural thing to have to and has nothing to do with being a virgin either. :-)
