Illawarra Business Chamber has named 81 finalists in 17 categories for the IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards.
Chamber executive director Chris Lamont said winners will be announced at WIN Entertainment Centre on October 20. And NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has agreed to attend as the special guest.
