Members of the Auckland Council’s business advisory panel have been announced, and it’s a veritable who’s who of the city’s business names (see below for full list).
Councilor Cameron Brewer, chairmanof the panel set up to provide a voice for business, said: “This is a high calibre group of well-respected Auckland businesspeople from all walks of life.”
