BikeBiz

This follows the successful introduction of the BikeBiz Awards last year, which saw all sectors of the UK cycling industry recognised and celebrated.

Taking the event to the next level for 2009, the BikeBiz Awards will be held on the trade day of Cycle Show, Thursday October 8th at a dedicated drinks reception taking place at 7.30 pm, followed by the awards presentation at 8.00 pm.

The BikeBiz Awards 2009 are officially partnered by Citrus-Lime and Cube.

All exhibitors are invited to attend the reception to toast the winners, with a limited number of additional invitations being issued by BikeBiz.

This year, the list of awards has been tweaked slightly. The awards up for grabs in 2009 include:-

-Independent Retailer (less than ten stores)
-Online Retailer
-High Street Chain (over ten stores)
-Distributor – Bikes
-Distributor – Parts & Accessories
-Consumer Magazine
-Consumer Website
-Marketing Team
-Manufacturer
-Best Cycle Show Stand

With the exception of the Best Stand accolade, which will be chosen and presented by Cycle Show organiser Upper Street Events, the BikeBiz Awards 2009 will be chosen in the same transparent fashion as last year.

After an intense lobbying period, the cycle industry has decided on the finalists, and now a panel of industry executives and leading retailers are voting on the ultimate winners.
