BikeBiz Awards Finalists announced

The finalists for the BikeBiz awards have been confirmed following weeks of lobbying and industry consultation.

Some 89 finalists are listed across the 14 awards. Narrowing the votes down to five per category proved far too difficult a task, with many companies receiving an equal amount of votes. As a result, the decision was made to let the panel of 50 industry judges decide.

BikeBiz is now seeking judges from all areas of the industry to decide who takes the accolades. Judges can be retailers, distributors, manufacturers, members of the press and other industry execs. Judges will not be allowed to vote in any category in which they are nominated, but otherwise are free to vote. The names of each judge will not be revealed until after the awards, which will take place on October 6th.

If you would like the chance to be one of the 50 judges who decide which companies take home the awards, please email lisa.foster@intentmedia.co.uk
