INTRODUCTION This report looks at Virgin Rail Ltd, which is a subsidiary of Richard Branson's Virgin Group Ltd. Virgin Trains are one of the largest passenger train operators in Britain with more than 1600 services a week calling at over 130 stations. Virgin Rail operates two franchises, the West Coast Main Line and CrossCountry Trains. Birmingham is the hub of the Virgin Trains network from which frequent services are provided to London, Manchester, Sheffield Reading and Bristol with regular services to Glasgow, Edinburg, Aberdeen and New Castle in the north and Brighton, Bournemouth and Penzance in the south and west. Virgin Trains plan for the future is to invest in brand new high-speed tilting and conventional trains both being capable of running much faster than current trains, thus reducing journey times for both West Coast and CrossCountry services. In analysing the Virgin Rail's marketing strategies I intend to use the Strategic Marketing Process model adapted from Cravens.
In April of 2003, Howard Atkins, CEO of Wells Fargo, began to consider the possibility of issuing convertible debt securities. This was the first issuance of this type for the Company, and as such Atkins met with bankers from Morgan Stanley to go over the details. Credit-wise, Wells Fargo was one of the strongest financial service company, and could generally issue debt relatively cheaply as a result of their very strong credit rating. When considering whether or not to continue pursuing the convertible securities option, Atkins considered the fact that Wells Fargo was very prevalent in the capital markets, which allowed the Company to have room to be opportunistic, and take on some reasonable amount of risk. Additionally, the bank could be opportunistic as a result of a huge core of deposits, previous issuances when the demand was present, and the Company was well hedged with actively managed positions in the more liquid derivatives market.
