SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY WITH VIRGIN ATLANTIC


Hello, I’m Brad. I’ve worked in the travel industry for around 34 years, and as a proud gay man, I can comfortably say that being part of Virgin Atlantic – a WUXO\ SLRQHHULQJ DQG LQFOXVLYH EUDQG – ʛOOV PH ZLWK pride, loyalty and passion.


Being my authentic self has not always been easy in my


working life, and I’ve been in roles before where I’ve not quite been able to be 100% me. But the minute I walked through the doors at Virgin Atlantic, I felt not just accepted, but embraced and encouraged to be myself.


This is a company that has always championed and


supported individuality, as well as being a long-time ally of the LGBTQ+ community. That’s true not just in terms of things like putting on fabulous events such as the Pride flLJKW EXW DOVR ʛJKWLQJ IRU WKH WKLQJV WKDW PDWWHU OLNH supporting Open for Business and standing up against anti-LGBTQ+ laws in some Caribbean countries.


Feeling comfortable in the place you work makes a KXJH GLʞHUHQFH LQ VR PDQ\ ZD\V 1RW IHDULQJ MXGJHPHQW from colleagues means that I’ve been able to build honest and meaningful relationships – not just internally, but externally too, as Virgin Atlantic works with partners WKDWbVKDUHbRXUbYDOXHV


I have a saying, which is ‘there’s your biological family, and


your logical one’. For me, Virgin Atlantic is my logical family. %HFDXVH WKDW’V UHDOO\ KRZ LW IHHOV bO
