The Grand Hotel Excelsior, still in it’s soft opening stages, has already set up a committee to initiate and create specific activities and events in line with the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility targets.

The first initiative carried out by this team was on the 22 January 2008 when, following the recent appeals for blood, the National Blood Transfusion Centre was invited to set up a temporary unit in one of the hotels meeting rooms and all employees where invited to take some time out of their work day in order to donate blood.

Human Resources manager Shirley Grixti explained that the hotel team is committed to repeat this type of event on a regular basis.

General manager Norbert Grixti was the first person to make a donation and augurs that the example given by those that responded to the appeal will be even greater the next time round.
