Sir Richard’s vision of Virgin

Nick Oakes’ letter (MW January 25) is interesting in parts, though unfortunately written from a fairly focused perspective of a p***ed off commuter.

The clear message from the letter is that Oakes unfortunately appears to lack the degree of vision that Sir Richard Branson has displayed in all his ventures, if the rest of us could but see beyond the ends of our balance sheets – or noses.

That could explain the difference in earnings potential (and net worth) between people such as Oakes and myself – and Sir Richard. I’m sure in the long run Virgin won’t leave us hanging around – unlike Mussolini!
