Last week, the association’s board confirmed it had decided on its permanent name and yesterday revealed it would be Business South: Otago Chamber and Southern Employers, to be known as Business South for short. The other two options were Elevate Chamber and Business Network or Southern Business Otago Chamber and Southern Employers. It also aligned the group with Business New Zealand, the national business organisation, of which Business South was a shareholder.
