The 2018 awards showcased some of East Lindsey’s finest businesses and the award winners have been sharing what winning meant to them.

Richard Smith, CEO of Lincolnshire Aqua Park in Mablethorpe, and winner of the Best New Business Idea/Innovation was delighted with the accolade.

He said: “I started Lincolnshire Aqua Park because there was nothing like it in the area and I thought the East Lindsey Business Awards would help put us on the map.

“I put a lot of time and effort into making our application and I was so pleased to be presented with the award for Best New Business Idea.”

That sentiment was echoed by Charlotte Collins, manager at the Louth branch of Crofts Estate Agents, who took home the Excellence in Customer Care award.

She said: “We’ve entered the awards and won two years in a row.

“Winning the awards has been amazing for us.

“In a competitive market, it feels good to know that you are getting it right and people appreciate your hard work.”
