BIKEBIZ AWARDS: Buy your tickets here

The countdown is on to this year’s cycle trade-celebrating event, with up to 200 executives from across the industry expected to attend. Make sure you register for tickets now.

This year’s Awards ceremony takes place on the evening of Wednesday September 28th at the Hilton Metropole at the NEC, Birmingham, the evening before the Cycle Show trade day – the ideal time and place for the trade to unwind after setting up their stands for the show.

For the price of a ticket attendees get drinks vouchers, hot food and chance to mix with the movers and shakers of the industry, as well as getting to see who gets to pick up the coveted awards. Tickets cost £25 – you can get yours by contacting Carly Bailey.

Electra Bicycles is Premium Partner for the 2011 BikeBiz Awards, alongside Event Partners Koga Bicycles, Citrus-Lime and Cycle-SOS.
