Who we are
The creative partnership behind Bright Green Events is Carly Thompson and Lisa Russell. After studying Events Management in Glasgow, we both went into the fast-paced world of publishing - Carly with Trinity Mirror Group and Lisa with The Drum - event managing community and corporate award ceremonies such as the Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards, the Scottish Sports Awards, the Law Awards of Scotland and the Scottish Advertising Awards.
After honing our skills independently, we joined forces and made up the events team at trade association Scottish Renewables. This is where our friendship grew and our shared passion for sustainability was born. As well as hugely exciting events such as The Scottish Green Energy Awards, we organised conferences, exhibitions, dinners, and receptions, all with the purpose of creating a greener, cleaner planet.
Carly went on to be Head of Events at The Prince’s Trust, leading events and campaigns that raised upwards of £1million before going agency-side, delivering incentives and conferences for clients across Europe.
With years of experience behind us and a friendship spanning 18 years we formed Bright Green Events.
