    Chris Evans sold it SMG a couple of years ago.

    He maybe an idiot but he has a lot of money. Just a shame he is not funny any more.

    My ex husband used to work for Chris Evans doing the lights for TFI Friday. If he could employ him he must be an idiot :rotfl:

    Why would you write to Richard Branson :confused: as far as I an aware he does not own virgin radio but SMG (scottich Media Group) do he sold years ago to Chris Evans and then it was sold to SMG.

    So going to look a little silly if you did write to him.

    Their ploy using the Virgin brand certainly worked with me - I had just assumed it was a real Virgin company! You are absolutely right, SMG are the owners, and I can't see any link to the Virgin Group now apart from the use brand (for which Branson no doubt gets paid royally/royalties).

    The CEO of Virgin Radio is Fru Hazlitt, who assumed this role earlier this year.

    The registered office of SMG is:
    SMG plc
    200 Renfield Street
    Glasgow
    G2 3PR
    Tel: +44 (0) 141 300 3300


    Corporate Affairs email is [email="corporate.affairs@smg.plc.uk"]corporate.affairs@smg.plc.uk[/email]


    Can't find an email address, or company address, for Fru Hazlitt but Fru's office would be the best place to take a complaint to in the first instance, and the Corporate Affairs guys will know the address. I'd just send the complaint to them, with a request to pass it on to Ms Hazlitt's office.




  • I won a prize from Virgin website and didn't receive it. I wrote to some guy who deals with the prizes (think it was both website and station) and he dealt with it extremely fast.

    Have PM'd you with his details.
    Everyone has a photographic memory, it's just some of them don't have film.
