Shortlist announced for the BikeBiz Awards 2018

A shortlist of brands, companies and individuals in each of the 18 BikeBiz Awards’ 2018 categories has been announced.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the awards, now in conjunction with the London Bike Show. It will honour key industry influencers from every corner of the trade, from mainstream retailers and bike brands, to consumer magazines and independent bike dealers.

The cycle trade will have the opportunity to cast their votes for a winner in each of the 18 categories; info on how to get involved with this will be revealed in the near future.

The 2018 awards look set to encapsulate everything about the cycling industry that we love and cherish

“The 2018 awards look set to encapsulate everything about the cycling industry that we love and cherish," commented BikeBiz editor Hayley Ferguson. “With an expanded list of awards, a diverse and comprehensive list of nominees voted for by the industry and a brand new venue, we’re confident that the tenth anniversary of the awards will be a night to remember.”
