Founder of Virgin Mobile To Leave After NTL Buyout

Tom Alexander, the founder and CEO of Virgin Mobile UK, is to leave the company after it becomes part of cable group NTL in July. Alexander would be retained as a consultant advising the company for the rest of 2006. Alan Gow, currently the mobile company’s finance director, will become the managing director when it becomes a division of NTL.
Virgin Mobile will initially remain a standalone division within NTL before integration begins next year. NTL, which recently merged with rival Telewest, intends to rebrand itself using the Virgin name early in 2007.
