UK’s Sparrows Group to operate in Saudi Arabia

UK-based Sparrows Group, a global specialist equipment and integrated engineering services company, has been granted commercial registration to operate in Saudi Arabia, it said in a statement.

The commercial registration allows Sparrows Saudi Arabia LLC, a newly established entity in Dammam, to deliver services related to the extraction of oil and natural gas and associated support activities.

The company, which re-entered the Saudi marketplace in 2015, has since been working towards achieving the official commercial registration. During this process, its Houston-based manufacturing facility became an approved supplier for offshore pedestal cranes for the country’s national oil company, Saudi Aramco.

“Saudi Arabia has one of the world’s largest petroleum resources with more than 100 different producing fields, eight of which are responsible for most of the country’s oil production. This high level of activity means there is demand for all our services," said Stewart Mitchell, chief executive officer, Sparrows.
