Who is Richard
Branson
Richard Branson was born in
1950 and educated at Stowe School. It was here that he began to
set up Student Magazine when he was just 16. By 17 he'd also
set up Student Advisory Centre, which was a charity to help
young people.
In 1970 he founded Virgin as a
mail order record retailer, and not long after he opened a
record shop in Oxford Street, London. During 1972 a recording
studio was built in Oxfordshire, and the first Virgin artist,
Mike Oldfield, recorded "Tubular Bells" which was released in
1973.
This album went
on to sell over 5 million copies! Since then many household
names, including Belinda Carlisle, Genesis, Phil Collins, Janet
Jackson and The Rolling Stones have helped to make Virgin Music
one of the top six record companies in the world. The equity of
Virgin Music Group - record labels, music publishing, and
recording studios was sold to THORN EMI in 1992 in a
US$1billion deal.
The Virgin Group
has now expanded into international music Megastores, air
travel, mobile, financial, retail, music, internet, drinks,
rail, hotels and leisure, with around 200 companies in over 30
countries. Yes, we've been busy!
