We are Global HRIS – your global payroll consultancy and partner. With years of real-world payroll and HR delivery, we’re supporting the people driving businesses, through a different approach.
Born from real-life experience
Every thriving business needs people. People need payroll. But too often, the human element is removed from payroll and HR transformation projects.
We’ve seen it first-hand. Too much focus on systems. Not enough focus on people. Too much complexity. Not enough clarity. Global HRIS exists to bridge that gap.
Founded in 2019 by Simon Bradbury, after more than 25 years working on large, complex global HR and payroll transformations, Global HRIS was created to bring real delivery experience into projects that are often underestimated, under-resourced, or only based on theory. We are your global payroll transformation experts. Because from real-life experience, you gain real-life results.
Meet Our Leadership
The people behind the payroll.
There must be a better way…
Payroll change is rarely straightforward. Yet, payroll solutions still offer oversimplified platforms and cold project delivery. That’s why we work alongside our clients, not above them. Our mission is simple: to help businesses through their HR & Payroll digital transformation journeys. But how we do it is transformative. Whether acting as your project team or supporting your existing one, we bring practical experience, focus and real care for what we do, so you can focus on what matters – your people.
What Drives Us
Accountability
Payroll work carries real responsibility. We take ownership of what we deliver and communicate openly throughout. When something needs fixing, we address it directly, because trust is built through honesty and follow-through.
Care for people
Payroll affects real people every single month. That’s why we approach our work thoughtfully and responsibly, keeping accuracy, reliability and wellbeing front of mind, especially when change feels complex or high-pressure.
Experience that counts
We bring real-world payroll and HR delivery experience into every engagement. Our approach is shaped by years of hands-on work, helping us anticipate challenges early and support projects that work in practice, not just on paper.
How We Work
This is our proven process, supporting you from day one.
Understand
We get to know your payroll setup, problems and people, and what you need it to deliver.
Ready to get started?
Let’s start with a conversation. You tell us where you are in your journey, and we’ll discuss how we can best support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a global payroll consultancy?
A global payroll consultancy is an independent specialist that helps organisations plan, deliver and manage payroll, across multiple countries or through periods of significant change. We’re not tied to any agenda, which means our focus is entirely on what works for your organisation. Global HRIS was founded on that principle, and it shapes how we work with every client.
What makes Global HRIS different from other payroll consultants UK businesses typically work with?
Our team has actually lived through large, complex payroll transformations. We know where projects get underestimated, where risks hide and what it feels like to be the person responsible for getting payroll right. That experience is in the room on every project we work on. We are a team dedicated to making your payroll journey as seamless and easy as possible.
Do you offer payroll advisory as a standalone service?
Yes. Payroll advisory support doesn’t have to mean full project involvement. Some clients come to us at one specific point, reviewing a business case, sense-checking a plan or assessing risk before a big decision. We’re happy to provide focused, independent payroll advisory at whatever level is actually useful.
Who are your payroll transformation experts?
Global HRIS was founded by Simon Bradbury, who spent more than 25 years delivering large-scale global HR and payroll transformations before starting the business in 2019. Our consultants bring real implementation, testing and operational experience across a wide range of payroll systems and sectors, because we’ve done the work ourselves.
What does working with an independent payroll consultancy actually look like?
It starts with a conversation. We get to know your setup, your people, your challenges and what a good outcome looks like for you. From there, the shape of our involvement depends entirely on what you need, sometimes we join your project team, sometimes we provide independent oversight, sometimes it’s targeted support at a specific decision point. No fixed model, no agenda beyond getting your payroll working properly.
