Virgin Atlantic boss, Richard Beanson, took to his blog to share how he would ring in 2016 with his family, saying “it’s been an extraordinary year for our Branson brood”.
He wrote:
Another year down, another year of milestones and magic to celebrate. It’s time to let your hair down. I certainly will be. Celebrating is good for the soul and the mind.
This year, my wife Joan and I will be toasting to 2015 with our family in the BVI. It’s been an extraordinary year for our Branson brood. I have particularly enjoyed taking on a new role as a grand-dude. I’m looking forward to ringing in 2016 with our three lovely grandbabies, with a party at our home on Moskito Island.
Not only does my family love to host a good party at home, we also encourage parties within the Virgin Group. Parties are part of the Virgin culture. They are a wonderful way to celebrate all the hard work our people have achieved. And I love to join in – it goes a long way to tearing down any unnecessary hierarchy when you’ve seen the founder of your business doing the limbo with a glass of wine in his hand.
Happy new year to you wherever you are! What are you celebrating this year?
