BikeBiz Awards 2015: The finalists revealed

One nominee from each of the categories will receive one of the coveted BikeBiz Awards. The awards night takes place on Wednesday September 23rd at the Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC, just a stone’s throw from the NEC exhibition hall setting of Cycle Show.

These finalists were lobbied for by the trade and an independent panel of at least 50 judges from the trade will select their recommendations for each category. If you’d like to be part of the judging process (it’s quick, over emails and realtively painless) then let us know at BikeBiz@nbmedia.com.

Tickets to the 2015 BikeBiz Awards cost just £40 and include entrance, two drinks and a hot buffet – plus chance to hobnob with the rest of the trade in an informal setting. You can buy your tickets to the Awards night online.
