The chamber said that plans are under way and with COVID-19 causing disruption to working lives, face-to-face interviews and the BIBAs on Tour will not be able to go ahead this year.

All interviews will take place via Zoom where each interview will last one hour. Judges will be expected to judge between 8 to 12 businesses over a two day period. Judges are required to commit to both judging dates which have been set, in addition to attending a training session.

A spokesman said: “To become an official judge is not for the faint-hearted and requires a minimum commitment of three days for interview sessions and training. Judges must also be committed to helping us maintain a robust, transparent and comprehensive judging process and agree to the judging rules and criteria."
