Event Safety Plan

What Event Safety Plan does

Event Safety Plan is a UK-based specialist health and safety support provider for the event and entertainment industry, operating as a trading style of 5 Safety Limited (registered in England and Wales, Company No. 9104730) from Gloucester. The company delivers three integrated offerings: consultancy services covering feasibility studies, licensing and planning applications, H&S documentation, contractor management, and on-site supervision aligned with CDM 2015 regulations; training courses delivered by qualified Safety Advisors in both public and in-house formats; and a proprietary SaaS application for compiling and managing safety documentation through ready-made templates, multi-user collaboration, incident reporting, and branded PDF export. The software currently lives at app.eventsafetyplan.com and is migrating to SafetyPlan.io, operated by a related entity (Safetyplan Limited, Company No. 12224968).

The company's customer base spans high-profile entertainment and live event producers (Secret Cinema, The Drive In, Game of Thrones live experience, 2k Trees, Apollo 11), corporate and brand activations (Jaguar Land Rover, Clarks), and institutional theatre (Chichester Festival Theatre, Troubadour Theatres). A stated 8-year working relationship with Secret Cinema illustrates the depth of embedded engagement, covering planning, licensing, and full on-site H&S support across build, show, and dismantle phases. The business monetises through SaaS subscriptions, professional services fees, and training course revenue, with a newly introduced freemium six-month trial designed to drive product-led adoption of the software platform.

Operationally, Event Safety Plan is a small firm (1-10 employees) with no disclosed external funding, operating from a single UK headquarters in Gloucester. Content marketing through the Event Safety Insights blog, multi-channel direct sales for consultancy and training, and self-serve SaaS sign-up together form a hybrid go-to-market that combines top-of-funnel regulatory content with consultative enterprise engagement. The product roadmap and customer logo expansion suggest deliberate platform investment and cross-vertical growth, even as the firm remains resource-constrained relative to enterprise H&S software competitors.

Direct peers

• Praxis42: UK health & safety training and consultancy firm combining e-learning with bespoke advisory. Mirrors ESP's training-plus-consultancy hybrid model for SME and event-sector customers.
• Shield Safety Group: UK-based H&S and food safety consultancy serving hospitality, leisure, and events. Directly comparable to ESP's event-adjacent consultancy offering with overlapping customer segments in UK live entertainment and venue operations.
• iHASCO: UK online health & safety e-learning provider. Directly comparable to ESP's training revenue stream, serving similar SMEs with industry-relevant H&S training courses delivered online or in-house.
• Showsec: UK event crowd safety, stewarding, and security services company. Serves the same UK event organisers with overlapping safety/compliance mandates, though focused on physical crowd management rather than documentation-led H&S.
• SafetyCulture: Global HSE inspection and safety documentation SaaS platform (iAuditor). Closest direct competitor to ESP's software layer, albeit operating across all industries and at materially greater scale; both target safety documentation, risk assessments, and team-based compliance workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Croner (Croner-i): Established UK H&S, HR, and compliance consultancy with proprietary software tools. Industry-agnostic incumbent competing for the same SME H&S budget pool as ESP.
• Ellis Whittam: UK employment law and H&S service provider for businesses, combining retained advice with cloud tools. Closely mirrors ESP's retained safety advisor model at greater generality and scale.
• Peninsula Group: UK H&S, employment law, and HR consultancy serving SMEs. Similar hybrid advisory + subscription model to ESP but broad-based across all industries rather than event-specialist.
• Citation: UK provider of H&S, HR, and compliance services with an integrated software platform. Overlaps with ESP's consultancy + SaaS model but operates at much greater scale and across all industries.

Others

• British Safety Council: UK chartered body for health, safety, and environmental management; provides training, certification, and industry standards. Ecosystem-adjacent organisation whose training certifications and standards shape ESP's regulatory landscape.
