The Board of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber has elected Mandla Madwara as its new president, and Neil Hart as deputy president.
The Board elected its new office bearers on Thursday night at its first meeting following the Chamber's annual general meeting last week.
Madwara succeeds Bryan Dowley as president and said he hoped his extensive business network would help serve the interests of the region by growing the economy with quality jobs.
Elected as deputy president, Neil Hart is MD of Boomtown Strategic Brand Agency, a business he founded in Port Elizabeth 18 years ago.
