A global provider of specialist engineering, inspection, operations and maintenance services to the industrial, offshore energy and renewables markets

Sparrows Offshore Services Limited was founded in 1975 to provide specialised crane and lifting services to the emerging offshore oil and gas industry in the UK. From our base in the North Sea, the company grew rapidly, offering expertise in crane maintenance, installation, and operations services.

Over the decades, we have expanded our capabilities and global reach through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Today, we are recognised as a global provider of specialist engineering, inspection, operations, and maintenance services to the offshore energy, renewables, and industrial markets. From the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico to the Middle East, West Africa, and beyond, we work around the world, around the clock – helping our customers optimise efficiency and ensure the performance, reliability, and safety of critical equipment and personnel.

In 2022, we became part of the Altrad Group, a global leader in industrial services. Looking ahead, we are accelerating our growth in the renewables and industrial markets while continuing to evolve our service offering in line with the demands of the global energy transition.

2025 marks 50 years of success – driven by safety, quality, and our greatest asset: our people. Watch the video below to explore the milestones that shaped our journey!
