Phil Scarlett, president of Spalding and District Area Chamber of Commerce, said: “With the quality of entries this year, the competition was stronger than ever and it is a significant achievement to have been honoured. It was difficult in most cases to clearly identify the winner, which is why we decided to recognise entries that narrowly failed to win a category by awarding them highly commended or commended.
