Sir Richard Branson on 'painful' virgin coverage during pandemicSir Richard Branson has told the BBC that he has never faced media coverage as "painful" as when he attempted to acquire a loan for his Virgin Group during the pandemic.
Virgin reportedly asked the government for a £500m bailout, which drew criticism due to Sir Richard's personal wealth. The government refused the loan but a private rescue deal eventually saw the Virgin Group inject £200m, with an additional £1bn provided by investors and creditors.
