"The businesses who received awards have all shown a great deal of dedication and excellence.
"These awards give us the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work that goes into making not only a successful business, but also the sustained and continued support and growth of the local area.
"Friday's celebration recognised the success of all the applicants, finalists and winners which demonstrated the breadth of expertise and skills within the East Lindsey District.
"Congratulations to all."
