What Legacy Events does

Legacy Events is an Oxford-based sustainable events agency and consultancy founded in 2016 (originally as Muon Events, rebranded in 2019) by Abena, a former space scientist with 15+ years of cross-disciplinary experience. The company provides three core service lines — end-to-end event management, sustainability strategy and training, and responsible sourcing — to values-led organizations, including foundations, NGOs, public sector bodies, academic institutions, and large enterprises such as Luminate, Spotify, YPO, Oxfordshire County Council, and Gold Standard. Projects have been delivered across at least eight countries spanning the UK, continental Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Israel, with event sizes ranging from 115 to 2,000+ participants.

The company's technology layer centers on the Legacy Marketplace, an award-winning (M&IT Awards 2022 Silver) online platform connecting event organizers with verified sustainable suppliers across at least twelve product categories including venues, catering, AV, branded merchandise, and tableware. The Marketplace is underpinned by the proprietary 9 Key Themes of Sustainability Framework — a structured methodology covering Carbon Footprint, Waste & Materials, Biodiversity, Inclusion, Ethical Sourcing, and other domains. Supporting platforms include Sustainabuddy (sustainability tools) and Collaboration Exchange (professional network), while Legacy Labs functions as an innovation hub for experimental projects such as Pocket Wilderness and the Speak UP campaign.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services fees for event management, strategy/training, and sourcing engagements, structured as project-based or multi-year framework agreements (e.g., the Luminate Strategic Initiatives programme running July 2024 – September 2026). The marketplace provides a complementary self-service channel with unit-priced sustainable products (£2.30–£107.95) and Stripe-enabled checkout, while a premium Swag Concierge service handles bespoke branded merchandise projects of 51+ units. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, Certified B Corp (since 2023), and operates without disclosed external funding.
