BikeBiz Awards 2026: Rebecca Charlton to host, new categories added

Rebecca Charlton will host the BikeBiz Awards 2026 in Birmingham on 15 October, with 20 awards across five categories.

Rebecca Charlton has been confirmed as the host for the BikeBiz Awards 2026, which will take place at the Button Factory in Birmingham on 15 October. The event will feature 20 awards distributed across five categories, with several new award categories introduced for this year's edition. Winners will be announced live during the ceremony.

The awards programme reflects the ongoing evolution of the industry's recognition events, with the expanded category structure aimed at covering a broader range of industry activities. The inclusion of new awards suggests a response to changing market dynamics and the need to acknowledge emerging areas of trade activity.

For industry professionals, the event serves as a networking and business platform, bringing together retailers, distributors, and suppliers. The venue choice in Birmingham provides a central location for UK-based trade attendees, though the awards themselves are not limited to UK participants.

The announcement comes as part of the wider awards cycle, with the event scheduled for later in the year. Further details on the specific new categories and entry criteria are expected to be released closer to the event date.
