South Korean based airless tyre brand Tannus will sponsor the BikeBiz Awards in 2017.
Tannus, who recently surpassed the 200,000 sales mark and forged a new partnership with Specialized in 2016, will support the prominent hard working brands, distributors and IBDs who are currently nominated in the 2017 edition of the BikeBiz Awards by sponsoring the innovation from a Newcomer category.
This years awards ceremony has been delayed to February 16th so as to coincide with the cycling exhibition at the London Excel International Convention Centre.
The BikeBiz Awards will celebrate the best of the UK cycle trade, and present a chance to congratulate the hard-working individuals who make the industry such an innovative environment.
Retail prizes will recognise high-achieving stores, local independent shops and giant online retailers; awards will also honour distributors and wholesalers, brands and those providing essential specialist services for the industry, from training to advocacy. Equally important is the chance that the BikeBiz Awards offer for the trade to meet, chat and make new business contacts.
Tickets can be purchased from the official website at £49: www.bikebizawards.com.
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available – contact Richard Setters at rsetters@nbmedia.com or 02073546028.
