Jayne-Anne Gadhia, Chief Executive at Virgin Money said: "The Virgin Money Lounge concept has been a big hit with customers in Edinburgh and Norwich and I am delighted to announce our Lounge in Manchester is now open. Our Lounges are places where our customers and their guests can relax, and where local communities can meet.
