What HSE Global does

HSE Global, trading as The Global Series, is an event-driven learning and networking platform for senior operations, health, safety, and sustainability (HSE) professionals, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Melksham, United Kingdom. The company operates as a private limited entity (Paul Clark Sales Consulting Limited, company number 10680877), founder-led by CEO Paul Clark with a small team of 1-10 employees. Its core offering is a global series of in-person HSE Learning Summits — held in the UK, North America (twice yearly), Europe, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and APAC — supplemented by the COO Leaders' Summit, the industry-specific HSE Mining Learning Summit in Canada, and supporting programs including the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) membership community, the Changemakers community, an HSE podcast series, and an emerging Pulse AI feature.

The company's revenue model combines three streams: (1) transaction-based event registration fees from professional attendees across its global summits, (2) tiered recurring sponsorship and partnership revenue from over 60 EHS software, safety technology, and adjacent vendors (Diamond through Bronze tiers), and (3) subscription-based membership in the Executive Leaders Network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based across both registration and sponsorship. The GTM motion is event-driven and community-led, leveraging content marketing through blogs and podcasts, the Global Advisory Council, and partner referrals to drive attendance and sponsor acquisition. The platform differentiates through an intentionally small, curated attendance format, cross-industry participation (manufacturing, logistics, defense, airlines, construction), and a community-positioning rather than traditional conference format.

Technically, HSE Global's stack is anchored on event management infrastructure rather than a deep proprietary technology platform. Pulse AI appears as a forward-leaning feature in the product navigation, but no AI/ML architecture, data assets, or proprietary models are disclosed, and no API, SDK, or developer ecosystem exists. The company's product surface is fundamentally events-and-community, with Pulse AI and ELN representing early attempts to extend into recurring digital revenue, though they remain secondary to the core in-person summit business.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National Safety Council (NSC): US-based nonprofit running the annual NSC Congress & Expo, the largest general-industry safety gathering in North America. Directly comparable as a long-standing, safety-focused conference and community brand serving senior HSE leaders, though with a much larger institutional footprint.
• American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP): Professional association running Safety+ (formerly ASSE) annual conference for OSH practitioners worldwide. Comparable in serving the same senior safety professional audience with a recurring conference plus year-round membership/community, and is a direct competitor for HSE leader mindshare.
• AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association): Professional society running AIHce EXP, the leading industrial hygiene and occupational health conference. Comparable in targeting EHS-adjacent leaders with technical content and an exhibition hall, competing for a portion of HSE Global's industrial/manufacturing attendee base.
• IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health): UK-based chartered body for OSH professionals running annual events and CPD programs. Directly comparable to HSE Global's UK events in audience (UK HSE leaders), CPD focus, and community/networking positioning; a primary in-region competitor.
• SHP (Safety and Health Practitioner): UK trade media brand covering HSE news, awards, and events. Comparable as a UK-anchored HSE content/events brand targeting the same practitioner audience, though more media-led and with smaller live-event footprint than HSE Global.
• EHS Today: B2B media brand serving EHS professionals with editorial, awards and events (EHS Today Safety Leadership Conference). Comparable as a content-and-events competitor for senior HSE leader attention and sponsorship dollars, with stronger US media presence.
• Safety+Health Magazine / NSC: Long-running US safety trade publication and events platform. Comparable as a content + conference brand serving the same US HSE professional audience as HSE Global's North America summits.

Broad incumbents

• Informa Markets: Global B2B events group operating hundreds of trade shows including safety, health and sustainability verticals (e.g., through brands like Informa Connect). A broad incumbent with vastly larger scale, exhibition infrastructure, and sponsor relationships than HSE Global.
• Reuters Events: B2B events and media business (part of Reuters/Thomson Reuters) running executive-level summits across risk, compliance, and sustainability. Comparable at the COO/operations executive tier (especially the COO Leaders' Summit), but with much larger institutional resources.

Emerging players

• BIC Events (Business Innovation Congress): Independent B2B event organizer running regional HSE and operational excellence congresses in Europe. Comparable as a similarly-sized, privately-held events competitor in adjacent geographies, providing partial overlap in audience and sponsor pool.
