Sparrows and SPIE Partner Up

Sparrows Group and SPIE Oil & Gas Services have signed a global agreement to work in collaboration to support the energy sector.

The deal should see the companies work together to initially deliver their collective service offering throughout Africa before they expand the scope of their collaboration globally.

Stewart Mitchell, chief executive officer at Sparrows Group, said: “The synergy between our companies, which are both committed to excellence, will allow us to deliver an unrivalled technical competence in Africa. SPIE have an extensive footprint across Africa which will allow us to reach new customers who require the highest possible standards in crane operation and maintenance, lifting, mechanical handling, inspection, training, fluid power, and cable and pipe lay services.”

Yves Compañy, managing director at SPIE Oil & Gas Services, said: “Sparrows Group’s internationally recognized expertise will bring a key added value to our SPIE Asset Support Solutions product line, and Global Maintenance Contracts.

“This strategic alliance will strongly benefit our customers willing to rely on a seamless local support with top international standards, to increase safety and integrity, extend lifetime and make the most out of their assets. Our matching geographical footprints mean we look forward to extending our services to a more global scale shortly.”
