FIA CEO David Stalker said: "I say it every year but the standards of the competition really have been so high; it's becoming virtually impossible to narrow the finalists down.

"In many of the categories it has been so, so close; this is a really encouraging sign of how strong our industry is, and how high the standards of operation and customer care are across the board."
