Just back from Copenhagen. It was a quick trip but I met a fascinating group of mayors, from Los Angeles, Vancouver and Calgary. They are all keen to drive change through their cities so we discussed improving buildings and modernising their ports. I participated in an event on saving the rain forests and met inspiring leaders like President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo and Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Guyana has been harvesting its forests in a responsible way while Norway has committ…

Okay – it was the worst kept secret in Formula One – but I’m now proud to confirm Virgin Racing will be competing in Formula One next season.Our first year in F1 (with Brawn GP) was tremendous for the Virgin brand, so why not go in again with a new team from scratch?If you look at the history of Virgin we've loved supporting technical breakthroughs, great engineers, and there's something like 120 engineers working away on this project.Last year with Brawn, they started the seas…

Hurricane force winds hit Mojave Air and Spaceport CA on Monday evening where we had all gathered to witness the roll out of Virgin Galactic's first commercial manned spaceship. We braved gale force winds and stormy weather, to see SpaceShipTwo for the first time. As we were celebrating, an evacuation was called by local officials who had become aware of the approaching storm. It was absolutely incredible, the roll out of the spaceship had been fantastic and everybody was fill…

Over the last few days I have been asked about the ethics and the rationale behind the Virgin Galactic suborbital space program. So I thought it best to outline a few my thoughts here on why I think this is such an important initiative to get behind and invest in.Since the 1960s, space technology has played a big role in helping scientific research, weather forecasting, communications and climate studies. Without it our ability to understand the pace and nature of climate change would be severel…

The team has created not only a world first but also a work of art.The unveil of SS2 takes the Virgin Galactic vision to the next level and continues to provide tangible evidence that this ambitious project is not only moving rapidly, but also making tremendous progress towards our goal of safe commercial operation.…

Last month, Virgin Unite (the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group) offered you the chance to submit a question to be answered by The Elders.  I've had the great privilege to work closely with this wonderful group of global leaders, which was set up by Nelson Mandela to offer their collective influence and experience help tackle conflicts and promote peace building. The Elders’ answers are now live online. Log on to www.virginunite.com to view responses by Desmond Tutu,…

Since the launch of Virgin Money Giving on 14 October we have had a great response, and lots of running man videos coming in. My personal favourite is the ‘DaviesBruvvers’ fantastic interpretation of the Running Man – they certainly outdid my attempts at the dance which you can also see on my YouTube page! Take a look for yourself and why not put together your own video - remember for every running man video submitted to YouTube, £5 will go to charity.The Run with Richard…

I had an energetic start on Wednesday morning and had a full day of telling people about Virgin Money Giving and our sponsorship of the Virgin London Marathon. Joining in with 200 people in our take on the running man dance was a great way to start the day - and to dust off my training shoes...   Virgin Money Giving is an organisation that I am very proud of. It reflects my belief that profit should be used to do something good for society at large and that’s exactly w…
