BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Following the commencement of the nominations process for the BikeBiz Awards earlier this month, we’ll be highlighting each and every category from our list of expertly-curated accolades, designed to reflect the varied and vibrant nature of the sector: from prizes that honour local independents and distribution giants through to awards for innovative brands and those providing essential services to the industry including training, advocacy and beyond.
Today, we’re showcasing P&A Distributor of the Year. Previous winners include Madison (2019 and 2014), The Cycle Division (2018), ZyroFisher (2017) and Upgrade Bikes (2015).
Who should you nominate?
Any distributor that stocks a range of quality parts and accessories, and that has a history of reliable service.
Criteria
Businesses will be judged on the quality of the range offered, reputation for effective and efficient transactions, swift delivery and packaging.
Nominees must provide a 200-word statement covering:
What their customer service policy is
What standout products and brands they offer to retailers – especially those for which the nominee has exclusive distribution
How the team shares its industry knowledge and expertise with partner retailers to help them boost their businesses
Additional credit could include, but is not limited to distributors which have:

The Awards is returning for its 12th iteration this year in a digital format, forgoing a live event to ensure those working tirelessly to keep the sector’s wheels turning can receive the recognition they deserve while ensuring the safety of all involved.
