Our History.

GREY INVESTMENT GROUP

When travellers talk of their adventures and experiences in the South Seas, the name ‘Aggie Grey’s’ is bound to come up. Some of this legendary status is due to James Michener’s “Tales of the South Pacific”, but most can be attributed to its popularity with travellers who found it a South Pacific haven.

The original Hotel was founded by Aggie Grey – the daughter of William Swann and his beautiful Samoan Bride Pele – in 1933, as the British Club. Then during WWII, it became renowned among American servicemen stationed in Samoa seeking respite from their duties. Aggie’s charm, charisma and unfailing hospitality drew many guests, plenty of whom left as friends.

In the fifties these guests included actor Gary Cooper, and the cast and crew of “Tales of the South Pacific”, as well as a whole constellation of Hollywood stars; Marlon Brando, Raymond Burr,

William Holden, Tia Carera, Cheryll Ladd, Royalty and Presidents.

Built as the International Hotel, the original wooden building was removed from its first site around 1900 and rebuilt where Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows now stands in Apia, on the harbour’s edge. It was once again dismantled in 1987 to make way for newer accommodation facilities, which guests enjoyed until recently, before the hotel sadly suffered structural impairment in the cyclone of December 2012.

Over the years, the Hotel has been developed, expanded and modernised, and is now undergoing a $20m USD complete make-over after damage sustained from Cyclone Evan. The Hotel will be rebuilt under comprehensive planning, nearly doubling its rooms and improving its facilities when it reopens in late 2014.

GREY INVESTMENT GROUP _ OUR HISTORY

4 GREY INVESTMENT GROUP 2013

While the Aggie Grey’s Hotel was making its iconic name known in the Pacific, during the 70’s and 80’s Alan Grey, the son of Aggie Grey, started working in the family business and saw new opportunities.

These included starting Samoa Scenic Tours, a service set up for tours and hotel transfers on the mainland – and Apia Bottling, which has become the largest drinks and ice-cream manufacturer in Samoa. Serving the Hotel’s needs and sourcing goods from abroad, Apia Bottling also started importing foreign food, beverages and healthcare products. It has now grown into the largest importer of foreign beers into Samoa.

After recognising opportunities to diversify the family business, in the early 1990’s Alan Grey founded Grey Investment Group. The group has since sort to extend its ventures beyond its successful business history of its legendary Hotels and Resorts, and have

grown an expansive and varied portfolio, all of which has proven to be very profit- able. During this period, the group has become Samoa’s largest employer outside of government, providing valuable jobs and opportunities to our community.

Developed as a sister piece to Aggie Grey’s Hotel in Apia in collaboration with the Samoan government, in 2005 the Grey Investment Group opened the doors of the $25m USD Aggie Grey’s Lagoon, Beach Resort & Spa. The Resort offers a whole new family holiday experience in paradise and is situated only five minutes commute from Samoa’s

main airport, Faleolo International. With its superb location, the Resort allows travellers a quick and effortless gateway to the start of their Samoan holiday, a facility that had been previously missing.

More recent investments include the acquisition of Le Meridian Hotel in Tahiti for $15m USD in 2012; the redevelopment of Le Penina Country Club, Golf Course & Entertainment Functions Centre; and Samoa’s first Condominium & Time Share Village development, due to be developed in 2015.

The Grey Investment Group continues to progress their portfolio in the Pacific region; constantly on the lookout for new opportunities, it looks to diversify and grow in emerging markets and for developments to add its rapidly expanding asset base.

“Aggie’s charm, charisma and unfailing hospitality drew

many guests, plenty of whom left as friends”

Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows, Samoa

We love working with people and helping the wider community - the group employs

close to 1,000 people in Samoa, and nearly 150 in Tahiti, French Polynesia. This makes us the largest employer in Samoa outside of the government, ensuring on-going positive

contribution to the Samoan economy.

We’re the largest private employer

in Samoa.

Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows, Apia, Samoa.

Aggie Grey’s offers its valued visitors hospitality that is unsurpassed in the South Pacific. Legendary for a relaxed and welcoming environment, at the hotel guests find gracious service, full amenities and straight from the heart smiles. The hotel was founded in Apia in 1933 by Aggie Grey, and became a renowned club in the South Pacific for American servicemen stationed in Samoa during WWII.

Over the years the hotel has hosted many famous people and has steadily evolved to acknowledge the ever changing needs of travellers.

Sadly damaged by Cyclone Evan in December 2012, the hotel has had to be rebuilt in its entirety. However, out of the ashes has come an exciting new stage of life for the hotel, with the Sheraton Group having secured management rights of the hotel for the next 10 years. A collaboration between the two groups, Aggie Grey’s Hotel & Bungalows is in the process of being comprehensively redesigned and rebuilt with increased rooms and improved facilities, all the

while retaining the ethos of the original hotel and its rich history.

The new and improved hotel will be relaunched late 2014 managed by Starwood Hotels and Resorts falling under the Sheraton Group of Hotels and Resorts with a four and a half star rating, making it the premier hotel of its kind within Samoa. It will have 200 rooms and the largest Conference and Meeting Facilities available at a cost of $20m USD.

After seeing an opportunity back in 2008 to take a local artesian water to the world, Grey Investment Group creat- ed the brand Samoa Artesian Water; Samoa’s first and only greenfields natural water export plant.

In 2006, the Group discovered a large water aquifer that sits under a lush volcanic terrain on one of the remotest plant-

ations in Samoa. The water is gradually filtered through the unique tropical ecosystem and naturally fills the aquifer. This combination makes it the ideal location to create a water plant and also helps provide it with the purest waters in the world, due to it’s remote location away from impurities and city pollution. Grey Investment Group com- missioned Supply, a world

renowned design and interactive company, to assist on the creation of the brand and marketing.

The water plant took over two years to develop and launch, and after the official opening in 2008 saw the water plant start to mass produce the water to take on the likes of Fiji Water. The initial build cost came in at $8m USD and the

We ‘ve been proud supporters of Samoan Rugby since the early 1970’s and continue to be now.

Instrumental in being a driving force behind Samoan Rugby and what it is today, the Grey Investment Group lead by Alan Grey pioneered Samoan Rugby from the early 1970’s. Even the Samoan Prime Minister can be quoted saying “The truth about Alan Grey...Rugby wouldn’t exist in Samoa today without him... Alan Grey has spent millions of his own money to fund Manu Samoa in the past.”

Alan Grey was installed as the Samoan National coach in the 1970’s and helped the Samoan Rugby Team to some great successes.

Behind the scenes the group collectively helped finance Samoan Rugby until it became professional with the formation of Manu Samoa Rugby Limited. This was helped by the Fay Richwhite Merchant Bank, Grey Investment Group, others on the board and the Samoan Rugby Football Union.

The Group has spent millions sponsoring Samoa Rugby over the years and are proud of where it is at today.
