Description
The bit about us
We’re Hyve, a global events company that does things differently.
Our events deliver game-changing impact for people, businesses and beyond. That might mean winning a major contract, securing transformational investment, getting on the shelves of a giant retailer or hearing from thought leaders who are changing the future. The purpose of every one of our events is to bring the people who power major industries together – and open a world of potential.
At the same time, we’re using our events as platforms for progress, to drive the conversation across the world’s biggest industries on crucial topics like sustainability, diversity and ethical business.
These moments can change lives. And making those connections motivates us every single day.
But creating those human connections doesn’t just happen at our events. It’s part of everyday life when you work at Hyve. There are all sorts of socials, inclusion workshops and professional development opportunities to get your teeth into. And then there are the benefits. From gym memberships to private medical care, season ticket loans to healthy pensions, we’ve got you covered in all kinds of ways. (We’ll even give you an extra day off on your birthday!)

The bit about you
First of all, whatever your background and whatever your beliefs, there’s a culture of belonging here at Hyve and everyone is welcome. The question isn’t where you are from – it’s where you want to go.
We’re a positive bunch and if you’re a “glass half full” kind of person you’ll fit right in. Our values are brilliant work, fresh thinking, rich connections, and collective buzz. And just to be clear, these aren’t just words we put on the walls and forget about. They pull everyone together and help us all produce work that we’re proud to put our names to. If that resonates with you, great: we’re on the same page.

About Breakbulk
The Breakbulk events portfolio consists of three market-leading shows, each with a unique focus on industries including energy, engineering and construction, industrial manufacturing, maritime, transportation, and logistics. Located in Dubai, Breakbulk Middle East is the fastest growing of the three shows; it reflects the region’s rising destination for project investment. Breakbulk Europe is renowned as the world’s largest gathering for the project cargo and breakbulk industry. And lastly, Breakbulk Americas is held in Houston; it boasts the largest number of energy and EPC participants, making it a powerful resource for companies looking to find new project business.
Breakbulk Middle East is the fastest growing event of the portfolio, achieving 95% increase in visitors in 2023 and attracting attendees from 97 countries. The growth trajectory is projected to continue for 2024 with more project opportunities and investment in the region which are all addressable by Breakbulk Middle East.
