As a Southern business, you have drawn on your reserves of strength to meet the challenges of the past two years – and as a region, we thank you for your dedication, persistence and innovation. And The Grand Business South Awards is our region’s business community’s opportunity to acknowledge this – by celebrating innovation, creativity and success, and by empowering business and recognising excellence.

Applications are now open for the 2022 Awards. If your business is located in the Otago or Southern region and you want a platform to showcase your success, we warmly invite you to enter – to share your story, to get feedback from our independent team of judges, and to recognise those people who are part of your business.
 
“It’s motivating to get up tomorrow and do even better than what we did today.”
Richard Whitney, CEO Mercy Hospital, 2020 Supreme Business Excellence Winner
