Our Purpose at Virgin Experience Gifts

Ordinary is everywhere, because it’s easy. But we go further, striving for extra at every turn. We look after the small details, we think about the big picture, and we piece it all together to create something really, really special.

Our products positively glow with it, transporting our customers to the most incredible worlds. Together with our partners, we open doors to five-star hotels, and unlock Michelin-starred menus. We have you driving Ferraris, jumping out the sky… we have you flying World War II warplanes.

We know there’s no one size fits all for extraordinary, so look a little closer and you’ll discover we’re extraordinary to the core.

We champion each other and care about our environment for an extraordinary workplace. We surprise and delight for extraordinary customer relationships. We work hard and smart for extraordinary outputs. All this means we can hire extraordinary people who keep bringing it, keep improving, keep sprinkling that extraordinary magic dust.

Our commitment to Diversity, Inclusion and Equity

We believe that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness and VEG is committed to promoting equal opportunities in employment. We recognise that we all have different perspectives which are influenced by our individual and diverse characteristics and experiences.

We value and celebrate diversity and equal opportunity. We want to build an inclusive culture where people of different views, backgrounds, skills and experiences come together to recognise, celebrate, and value these differences. We strive to create an inclusive culture where everyone can truly be themselves at work and feel that they belong.
