It works with a number of large-scale events, including Farnborough International Air Show and Mobile World Congress Barcelona.
David Bulley, founder and chief executive of DB Systems, said: "This is a very exciting time. I remain passionate about what we do and after years of carefully nurturing this business into a respected and trusted supplier, we now have a significant capital injection to help us realise our future growth potential."
Wakefield added: "The structure of the transaction should prove mutually rewarding. It means David will remain very much hands-on in the business, while the management team he has built around him will also have an ownership interest."
