The world has experienced a noticeable reduction in carbon emissions during the coronavirus lockdown by pushing us into greener living – and Bulb’s co-founder and chief executive Hayden Wood hopes these changes are here to stay.

Wood, who launched renewable energy provider Bulb with his friend Amit Gudka in 2015, believes lockdown has provided consumers with the opportunity to re-evaluate some of their old habits, including how they use their energy.

In fact, according to a report by Energy UK, more than 400,000 people switched from the Big Six to smaller suppliers in June and July this year – an increase of 25 per cent from this time last year.
