UK-based sustainable events consultancy The Bulb has been acquired by Trivandi to drive sustainable transformation across the events industry.

Trivandi said the strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in its growth journey, advancing its mission to create unforgettable experiences that leave sustainable legacies and inspire meaningful impact.

Formed in 2013 by the leadership team that planned, delivered and operated the 120+ venues of the London 2012 Games, Trivandi provides advisory, design and delivery services for events, venues, destinations and sports organisations.

The Bulb’s team of six will fully integrate into Trivandi, establishing a dedicated sustainability business and embedding sustainability into every phase of project delivery.

Together, they will deliver a comprehensive range of services, including event sustainability strategies, operational and design consultancy, training sessions and programmes that engage and educate leadership and teams as part of the Trivandi Academy, certifications including ISO 20121:2014 and carbon footprint measurement and reporting.

Co-Founder and CEO of The Bulb, Selina Donald, who has become Trivandi’s director of sustainability and a member of the executive committee, said: “Having built The Bulb organically for the last decade, I’m excited for the next phase of our growth as part of the Trivandi Group. I founded The Bulb to tackle climate change issues and make a real difference to the communities and environment where major events are held.

“After collaborating with the Trivandi team on COP28 UAE last year and more recently on Expo 2025 in Osaka, we recognised a shared vision and ambition to create meaningful experiences that push the boundaries of what sustainable event practice can be. My team and I are delighted to be part of the Trivandi family and can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.”

James Bulley, co-Founder and CEO of Trivandi, added: “We are thrilled to welcome The Bulb to the Trivandi Group. Sustainability has always been core to our vision to create a meaningful impact in our sector and protect our planet. This partnership elevates our ability to act in the fight against climate change by ensuring every project we work on reduces its carbon footprint through the advice we give and interventions we make.

“By uniting The Bulb’s award-winning ESG model with Trivandi’s proven strategy, design and delivery expertise, we will raise the bar for sustainability standards across the events, venues, destinations and organisations we serve. This also enables us to continue our mission of improving the industry, applying our learnings from each project to the next, while sharing knowledge and best practice.”

Trivandi’s acquisition of The Bulb is another key milestone in its ongoing growth, as it expands into new sectors and markets. Over the past year, Trivandi’s core staff have doubled across its three offices in London, Dubai and Riyadh, it established the Trivandi Academy to drive forward the professionalisation of the industry and launched its inaugural Major Events 101 training course to upskill aspiring and experienced major events professionals.
