BikeBiz has partnered with Bikebook to elevate its Mechanic of the Month campaign. 

The BikeBiz Mechanic of the Month initiative was launched to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of the industry, who keep bikes rolling thanks to their extensive knowledge of bike repair and maintenance.

Nominations are open to the public via bikeBook, allowing anyone to nominate their favourite mechanic. Monthly winners will be featured on the BikeBiz website through an interview, also receiving a digital badge to use on their online platforms.

Bikebook will be contributing to the Mechanic of the Month prize by providing each monthly winner with a free subscription to their workshop software, Workshop by Bikebook, for a limited period.

Jake Fieldsend, co-founder of Bikebook, commented on the partnership: “Supporting the BikeBiz Mechanic of the Month campaign was a no-brainer for us at bikebook as it gives us another way of championing the many great workshops around the UK doing great work that we can see through our systems but they may never get credit further than their customer feedback.

We already host our own Workshop of the Year awards and will be looking to combine the two campaigns together with BikeBiz to have one regular campaign that helps to spotlight the unsung heroes keeping us all on the road.”

BikeBiz Sales Manager, Richard Setters, said: “It’s great to be able to partner with others in the industry. By working together, we can reach bikebooks’ audience to ensure mechanics are getting recognition for their work. 

We’re looking forward to working together and being able to showcase mechanics on the BikeBiz website. From workshops to one-man bands, we want to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of bicycle mechanics across the UK.”

Nominations for the BikeBiz Mechanic of the Month are now open and can be submitted via this nomination form. BikeBiz and Bikebook encourage cyclists, workshop managers, shop owners and colleagues to put forward the exceptional mechanics who deserve recognition.
