BIKEBIZ AWARDS 2023 AND THE WINNERS ARE...
T
he votes have been counted and the judges have been consulted meaning we can finally announce the winners in the BikeBiz Awards 2023.
For more than a decade, these awards have been a stalwart in the calendar as we champion the best that the trade has to offer, and 2023 was no different - in fact it was perhaps more vital than ever at the end of a year like no other. In total, 15 awards were announced throughout the morning of Friday, November 3, across BikeBiz’s social media channels, recognising every facet of the cycle industry. As introduced last year, the majority of awards were
selected by our expert judging panel, ranging from retail business owners to respected journalists and mobility advocates. I would like to extend a particular thank you to all 14 judges (who abstained from voting in any category their organisation was nominated in) for their time, experience and knowledge to help make these awards possible. While most of our winners were decided by the judging panel, we still put two key categories out to the wider cycle industry - IBD of the Year and Woman of the Year- while the BikeBiz Diversity Champion was chosen by us here at BikeBiz towers.
I would like to thank all our readers for nominating, voting and generally spreading the word whether that be with a simple like/RT on social media or speaking with a customer in store.
A final thank you goes to all of the nominees who put
themselves forward and our eventual winners. The BikeBiz Award exists solely to celebrate the stand-out efforts of individuals and organisations from across the bike trade.
Although 2023 has been extremely challenging, I also hope it has offered a chance to reflect on the many positives that make the industry such a special thing to be a part of. Anyway that’s enough from me, let’s take a look at the winners…
