BikeBiz Awards 2019: And the winners are…

The 2019 BikeBiz Awards took place last night, 12th September, where the industry came together to celebrate the collective successes of the UK cycling scene.

The winners were announced at the 11th annual ceremony, which returned to the Cycle Show at the NEC Birmingham in conjunction with the exhibitor after-party.

The Awards were hosted by writer, presenter and author Jools Walker. Her blog, VéloCityGirl, focuses on different aspects of cycling, including cycle-style, adventures on two wheels and how to widen participation in the activity.

V12 Retail Finance sponsored the drinks reception as well as the Best Omnichannel Retailer Award. Citrus-Lime was an event partner and also sponsored the Best Independent Bike Dealer Award. Saddleback sponsored the BikeBiz Woman of the Year Award.
