Trivandi has been awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, the UK’s highest official recognition for business excellence. Personally approved by His Majesty The King, the Award recognises Trivandi’s outstanding international growth and its role in taking British major-event expertise from London to clients in 30 countries.
Trivandi was founded in 2013 by the senior leadership team that planned, delivered and operated the 120+ venues and infrastructure of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Determined to put that hard-won expertise to work for clients around the world, the founders built a business with a clear ambition: to create experiences, better by sharing what they had learned, improving how complex projects are delivered, and helping host communities benefit long after the event itself.
What began with a handful of specialists in London has since grown, steadily and rapidly into a trusted partner for world leaders in sport, government and business delivering complex mega-events, venues and infrastructure globally. Trivandi today employs more than 100 permanent specialists across five global offices in London, Dubai, Riyadh, Brisbane and Los Angeles, supported by an Associate Network of more than 4,000 subject-matter experts.
In the years since London 2012, the team has worked on every Summer Olympic Games, multiple FIFA World Cups, Commonwealth Games and World Expos, alongside some of the world's most iconic stadia, airports, government summits and visitor destinations.
James Bulley OBE, CEO and Co-Founder of Trivandi, said:
"Receiving a King's Award for Enterprise is a proud milestone for everyone at Trivandi. We founded this business in 2013 to share our knowledge and learnings from London 2012, in order to continually improve how complex projects are delivered, and help clients around the world create stronger, more lasting legacies. Today, our work spans sport, major events, venues and destinations across 30 countries. To have that effort recognised by His Majesty The King is a true honour, and one that belongs to every person who has helped build Trivandi into what it is today."
Paul May, Co-Founder and Chairman of Trivandi, said:
"Britain has a remarkable record in delivering the world's most demanding events on time, on budget and to a standard that endures. I’m enormously proud that Trivandi has been able to take that experience into international markets - not simply to advise from the outside, but to work alongside clients, partners and local teams to strengthen how major projects are delivered. Through our projects and through Trivandi Academy, we are helping host communities build the skills, confidence and capability to benefit from the transformational projects shaping their own countries. I am grateful to every member of the team who has helped earn this honour.”
Trivandi has grown consistently in international markets, year after year, by helping clients navigate the pressure, complexity and public scrutiny that come with globally significant events, venues and infrastructure. Its integrated One Team model synchronises strategy, design and operations, bringing the right expertise at the right time to help clients move from vision to delivery. The team is embedded across Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 portfolio, from Diriyah and Qiddiya to the transformation of Jeddah Airport. In Egypt, Trivandi has helped reimagine the visitor experience at the Pyramids of Giza. Last year, the company delivered operations for the UAE and Australia Pavilions at Expo 2025 Osaka. This summer, Trivandi serves as Official Event Delivery Partner for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, with specialists embedded across the organising company to plan, deliver and operate the venues that will host more than 3,000 athletes.
The latest chapter is the United States, where Trivandi's new Los Angeles office is supporting a growing portfolio of major projects. The team has helped Inter Miami CF open Nu Stadium in April, is Founding Advisory and Delivery Partner for Expo 2031 Minnesota and will deliver operations for the Global Esports Games in Los Angeles this December.
For 60 years, the King's Award for Enterprise has stood as the most prestigious honour a British business can receive. Established by Royal Warrant in 1965 and personally approved each year by His Majesty The King, the Awards celebrate outstanding achievement in international trade, innovation, sustainable development and promoting opportunity. Recipients are entitled to display the King's Awards Emblem for five years, a globally recognised mark of British excellence.
