VIRGIN CONTRACT & FORBES LIST
Landround plc ("the Company" or "Landround"), the travel promotions specialist,
has been named by international business magazine Forbes as one of the top 200
businesses outside the United States with turnover of less than $1 billion.
The magazine studied 19,000 companies world-wide and the final 200 all had to
have a return on equity of at least 5% over the past five years.
Michael Crompton, Landround Chairman, said: "This is a great honour for us and a
reward for all the hard work put in by everyone at the Company since flotation."
Getaway with Virgin
Landround has also joined forces with Virgin Megastore to offer store customers
a free return flight to Europe if they spend more than #50. The promotion will
apply to all 170 stores in the UK and Ireland as well as online sales. The
promotion, starting on 1 November 2003, gives consumers a choice of ten European
destinations including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Faro, Madrid,
Malaga, Milan, Palma and Paris.
The promotion runs in all Virgin Megastore branches throughout the UK and
Ireland until the end of November, and is supported by point of sale including
full window coverage, in-store posters, flyers and planes hanging from store
ceilings, in addition to radio and underground advertising.
A friend, partner, family member or complete stranger may also travel with the
voucher holder for just #75 return.
Tina Mills, Sales Director at Landround comments: "This is Virgin Megastore's
first travel promotion with Landround and we feel confident that it will be a
huge success."
