Branson can do whatever he'd like with the Concorde fleet, but without support from the manufacturer (the original companies are now part of Airbus/EADS), they'll be nothing more than a bunch of funny-shaped metal tubes sitting on the ground at Heathrow.

Live, in person, face time is rapidly becoming a thing of the past anyway. Very few want to go visit someone in London (in 3 hours or less) when they can do it via tele-conferencing or internet video (in 3 minutes or less)?
Concord was a nice idea for its time, but it's now a thing of the past and would do better as a museum piece.
