This year’s Mayoral Achievement Award goes to Pro Gamers.
The Mayoral Achievement Award is judged across all Melton Business Excellence Awards finalists, and recognises outstanding performance in the judging criteria for their nominated category.
Pro Gamers nominated for the Adaptability Award.
Emanuel Cachia and his wife started Pro Gamers to provide local gamers a place to belong and meet people with the same interests.
“We wanted to encourage usually shy and reclusive gamers to socialise and challenge themselves to develop their social, communication and problem solving skills,“ Mr Cachia explained.
“We are very proud of the welcoming and positive community that regularly meet at our physical store. We enjoy providing a high level of customer service in-store and Australia wide. Our selection of gaming products and trading card singles has expanded immensely to meet customers’ demand.“
Mr Cachia said the business had been reinvented to adapt to pandemic closures.
“The last two years have been especially challenging and we would not be thriving currently without overhauling our business model and moving to a financially safer location,“ he said.
Recently, the Cachias have expanded their services Australia -wide, while remaining focused on the loyal local customers they have serviced for the past eight years.
