BIKEBIZ AWARDS 2022 IN ASSOCIATION WITH ARMAURTO: AND THE WINNERS ARE...
T
he votes have been counted, the judges have been consulted, and we can finally announce the winners in the BikeBiz Awards 2022, in association with
ArmaUrto. This year the BikeBiz Awards returned with a bang, as the team here at BikeBiz doubled our efforts to celebrate the outstanding work being done across the cycle industry. We have made some key changes to this year’s awards, which were held virtually on Friday, 4th November, the most notable of which is the reintroduction of a judging panel. Following feedback from the industry, we decided that the
best way to decide the winners for the 2022 BikeBiz Awards would be to consult a select, expert panel of cycling industry figures - ranging from retail business owners to charity leaders. I would like to extend an enormous thank you to our 11 judges (who also abstained from voting in any category their organisation was nominated in), who lent their time, experience and knowledge to help make this event the biggest BikeBiz Awards to date.
Alongside the judging panel, we have also expanded our
range of awards with the introduction of five new trophies – Specialist Distributor of the Year, Best Shared Transport Provider, Micromobility Retailer of the Year, Micromobility Brand of the Year, and the BikeBiz Diversity Champion Award. We have also introduced five overarching categories for
the awards, covering the key areas of the market – Brands, Distributors, Retailers, Inclusivity, and Micromobility. While most of our awards were decided by the judging panel, we still put two key categories out to the wider cycle industry for a vote - IBD of the Year, and Woman of the Year - while the BikeBiz Diversity Champion was chosen by us here
at BikeBiz. All of these changes have been made to ensure the 2022 awards are reflective of all the brilliant work being done in the cycling industry, and to acknowledge the new and exciting developments in the micromobility, inclusivity, and advocacy areas. I would like to thank all our readers for nominating, voting, and generally spreading the word about the awards, and I would also like to extend a huge thank you to all of the nominees who put themselves forward to take part in the awards, as well as our shortlistees and our winners. The BikeBiz Awards exist to celebrate the stand-out efforts of individuals and organisations from across the bike trade, but the event would not exist without the support of everyone who got involved, including our sponsors - ArmaUrto, the Bicycle Association, and Bikesey. So without further ado, let’s get on to the winners… Alex Ballinger, BikeBiz editor
