One of the sticking points was the Managing Director at another company in the Virgin group.
He wasn't as tall as I'd imagined he would be.Ībout 10 years ago, I was working for one of the Virgin group companies and there was this huge project we wanted to accomplish. He is usually attended at a discreet distance by large men in dark suits who don't say much. He doesn't dress sharp, wears well-worn shoes and slouches a lot, but he's very personable. I'd go so far as to say he's quite shy, or at least that's how it came across. He's a very different person 'in the office'.
