Partnership
Green Halo
Business South is a keen supporter of the Green Halo Partnership initiative led by Alison Barnes, CEO of New Forest National Park. Her focus is all about working with business to create a world class environment and a world class economy here in the Central South.
Alison is a Business South board member and her aim is for the Green Halo partnership to be a global exemplar of how our most precious landscapes can work in harmony with a thriving, economically successful community.
Lobbying
Energy for Regeneration
With developments in the Central South stalling due to capacity constraints on the National Grid and the recent news that it can take a decade to build a new power line due to planning restrictions, energy has become a major discussion point for our Regenerate South Action Group.
Research has been undertaken by Savills led by their Central South office and this will be shared with MPs at a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Central South.
Buy Local
Local Produce Trade Show
A delicious highlight of the Business South year, our Local Produce Trade Show spotlights the amazing produce on our doorstep and promotes buying local.
Initially set-up as a means to enable cruise ships that home port in Southampton to include local produce on their menus, this much-loved event has grown to become a showcase that enables a wider network of local businesses, universities and hotels to meet and do business with local producers.
