Time to be like Branson?
Dicky Branny
Sir Richard Branson believes that the next generation of self-made billionaires will emerge from the corporate wreckage of this recession. In an exclusive interview with The Times, Sir Richard said: “There are a lot of Richard Bransons that will come out of the next three or four years.”
The Virgin founder believes that the depth of this recession and its impact on once-impregnable industries has presented entrepreneurs with their greatest opportunity in generations.
“Fortunes are made out of recessions. A lot of entrepreneurs get going in the economic depths because the barriers to entry are lower,” he said.
