Branson pays tribute to his departing ‘legend’
Virgin Holidays managing director Amanda Wills is to leave the company after 13 years.
In a statement, Wills said she was leaving to pursue other interests and described her time at Virgin Holidays as "among the happiest of my life".
Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson said Wills was a "legend within the industry".
He said: "Virgin Holidays would not be the strong, innovative company it is today without her leadership. I’ll miss her sense of humour, vision and energy."
She will leave in September.
