Forty-five businesses have been selected as 2025 Wyndham Business Awards finalists.
Wyndham’s Business Awards program is now in its 29th year and celebrates local business entrepreneurs, innovators, hardworking operators and business leaders.
The awards provide a unique opportunity for businesses across key industry sectors of all sizes and types to be recognised for their hard work, effort, dedication, accomplishments and commitment to their customers and the community.
This year, 165 outstanding entries from businesses across the municipality were lodged. After an intensive evaluation process in the first stage of judging, 45 finalists were selected.
Wyndham mayor, Cr Mia Shaw, said “We acknowledge the effort from the 165 businesses who submitted entries, some for the first time, and we are proud to have a range of diverse and vibrant businesses in all of the 11 award categories, including the new categories Business Resilience for 20-plus year old businesses and Rising Star for up-and coming talent under 30 years old as well as excellence in key sectors that strongly align with Wyndham’s current and future economic growth.”
“All the finalists should be proud of their achievements.”
Finalists will be celebrated at the Finalist Breakfast Celebration on Wednesday 30 July.
“These awards recognise the important and vital role businesses play in our economic prosperity. In a growing municipality like ours, we need a strong, dynamic and entrepreneurial business community to lead, drive and grow our future economy,“ Cr Shaw said.
“We thank and appreciate the judges this year, for their generosity of time and in bringing their wealth of industry-specific and business knowledge, expertise and experience to this year’s awards”.
The coveted Business of the Year Award and all category winners will be announced at Wyndham’s Business Awards Gala on Friday 12 September 2025 at Encore Events Centre. It is a night of nights to celebrate local business excellence.
