Virgin Money makes return to profit

A major assault on Britain's savings and home loans markets helped Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Money return to profit as it gears up for a stock market flotation.

The bank, which bought former failed lender Northern Rock from the government for an initial £820 million, said it returned to profit in the fourth quarter of 2012 and has been profitable every month since then.
