BikeBiz Awards 2019 taking place today

The 2019 BikeBiz Awards will take place today, 12th September.

The 11th annual ceremony is returning to the Cycle Show at the NEC Birmingham, in conjunction with the exhibitor after-party.

It will be an opportunity to not only celebrate the collective successes of the UK cycling scene, but also a chance to rub shoulders with the sector’s finest and network with peers, colleagues, friends and even rivals.

The Awards will be 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 has been confirmed as the drinks reception sponsor for this year’s Awards, and it will also be sponsoring the Best Omnichannel Retailer Award for 2019.

Citrus-Lime has been confirmed as an event partner. The EPOS and e-commerce specialist will also be sponsoring the Best Independent Bike Dealer Award for 2019.

Saddleback will be sponsoring the BikeBiz Woman of the Year Award.

Tickets are on sale now at a price of £28 (+ VAT).
