  • About Stanhope Gate

Global Functions

Many of the key global functions of our company are led from Stanhope Gate, whilst their principal management and operational teams are on our major sites in the UK, the USA and Sweden.

Examples of the many functions which have a strong presence at corporate headquarters are Finance, Treasury, Legal and Secretary's, Global Government Affairs and Policy, Investor Relations, Human Resources and Corporate Affairs.

Policy Making

Our work at Stanhope Gate is mainly focused on policy making and board support, although the location also means that some operational activities, such as Treasury and Government Affairs can be based appropriately close to the City of London, Government and Whitehall.

History

The building at 15 Stanhope Gate dates from the Georgian period, beginning in 1747 when Philip Stanhope, Fourth Earl of Chesterfield began to build a mansion at the address. Subsequent residents at the address have included peers, Ministers and military figures.

Now providing a compact and appropriate global headquarters for one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, it has been used by the company since the early 1990s, with its interior suitably modified to give office accommodation together with London-based conference and other facilities which are intensively used by staff from throughout the global AstraZeneca organisation.
