More than 50 businesses are in the finalists’ line-up for this year’s Wyndham business awards.

Among those chasing one of the 16 awards is WynCity Bowl and Entertainment Centre.

Managing director Edi De Pellegrin says the business, started by her father more than 30 years ago, won a mayoral award 10 years ago.

She said she is proud the centre is a finalist in the 2016 awards in the tourism and hospitality category.

“It’s a really positive experience and it gets you to scrutinise your business, looking at it section by section,” she said.

“Of course we want to win, but it’s good to just be recognised.”

Wyndham council’s economic development portfolio holder Cr Intaj Khan said finalists included some of Wyndham’s larger companies, which have been established for many years, as well as new and emerging businesses that have been trading for less than two years.

The awards will be presented at the Encore Events Centre on August 26 from 7pm.
