As their business has been nominated in two categories, Tommy and Steven Wallace from Pettycur Bay Holiday Park in Kinghorn were invited to attend a pre-awards drinks reception ahead of the awards dinner on 24 October.
The evening was styled as a networking event allowing everyone to mingle with others on the shortlist.
The awards scheme has recognised companies of all sizes, including sole traders, established firms, family businesses and first-time entrepreneurs in the last decade.
The Wallace family have run their business for more than 40 years which includes the 4-star Bay Hotel, Horizons Restaurant and Waterfront Bar, and the Images Entertainment Suite. The business is nominated in two categories- Best Family Business, and in the Leisure, Tourism and Hospitality category.
Tommy Wallace said: “It has been a really useful exercise to come along to the pre-awards drinks reception. Everyone has been so friendly and forthcoming about their businesses, and the various nominations they have achieved. It certainly means that on the awards night itself, we will see several familiar faces, and be ready to mingle more, especially once the formalities of the night are over.
“We are really pleased to be finalists in two categories. It’s very much a team effort by us all at Pettycur Bay Holiday Park. We would be absolutely delighted to win something on the night. It’s not long now until we find out!”
Pettycur Bay Holiday Park has grown steadily from an initial 170 caravans to more than 600. The business is now onto its third generation here, with Steven Wallace, Tommy’s nephew, and his brother Alan’s son, having been involved in the business for many years now.
Tommy said: “We’re busy gearing up for both Halloween and the festive season.
“In our plans for next year, is a fantastic new self-catering development aimed at family groups wanting to stay together. Ideal if you are golfing, attending a wedding, or just want a multi generational short break. We can’t wait to reveal more about this.”
