Holly's story

Holly is the eldest child of Richard and Joan Branson and, from a young age, dreamed of becoming a doctor. Holly joined the Virgin Group in 2008 as a member of the Virgin Management Leadership team, working across all Virgin companies and prospective new companies to spearhead innovative people, purpose and culture related projects.

Prior to joining Virgin, Holly graduated from University College London with Medical and Physiology degrees and worked as a junior doctor at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. 

Holly is Chair of Virgin Unite (the Virgin Group's foundation) and a founder and trustee of Big Change. She is also Co-Chair of We Day UK and a patron of Virgin Money Giving.

Holly loves adventure and to challenge herself. She has climbed Mont Blanc, completed several marathons (one of which broke the world record for the most people tied together) and has as undertaken several grueling Virgin Strive Challenges to raise funds for Big Change.

When not ‘changing business for good’, Holly lives in London with her husband Freddie Andrewes and their three children Etta, Artie and Lola.
