$18 million per minute raised at London’s Grange St. Paul’s hotel

Bill Gates was one of many enjoying the spectacular events facilities at the Grange St. Paul’s hotel, which hosted the groundbreaking GAVI Replenishment Conference on 13th June 2011. Securing pledges and commitments of $4.3 billion within only 4 hours, both Bill Gates and Prime Minister David Cameron expressed their delight at being able to safe-guard GAVI’s international programme, which aims to immunise over 80 million vulnerable infants against killer diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhoea in developing countries by 2015.

In recognition of the high-profile nature of the GAVI conference and its attendees, the Grange St. Paul’s hotel implemented a range of innovative security measures. The expert in-house technical team enabled simultaneous translation, together with sound feeds for a multitude of worldwide media broadcasters.

Sartaj Deegan, Head of MICE Sales at Grange Hotels, stated: “It is wonderful that Grange Hotels’ latest 5* hotel was chosen as the location for this event and that the quality of the facilities and services at the Grange St. Paul’s hotel was recognised for such a high-profile event. We were delighted to work with GAVI and welcome the opportunity to work with them again in future.” The success of the GAVI Replenishment Conference closely follows other similarly prestigious events held at the Grange St. Paul’s hotel. This includes the recent IODR Japan Disaster Relief charity gala, attended by a number of sports and entertainment celebrities.
