Sparrows Group changes senior management team after Altrad acquisition

(WO) – Sparrows Group, the engineering and maintenance services specialist for the global energy and industrial sectors, announced changes to its senior management. The announcement comes following Sparrows Group’s acquisition by Altrad Group last year. Sparrows will remain operating autonomously as an individual entity.

Following the acquisition, Sparrows will move to a regional operational model to better align with Altrad’s existing – and highly successful – business model. This will not have an impact on any existing or potential customers and will support Sparrows’ ambitions of expanding its global reach and service offering, offering it more direct access to Altrad’s experience and scale in the industrial services sector.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technical Officer and HR Director will leave the business on May 31, at which stage regional directors and managers will be responsible for the leadership of the business. Many of the regional leaders have been in the company for over 10 years and, supported by Altrad’s support functions, will provide important continuity to ongoing operations. Alpha Offshore Service, Sparrows’ wind energy business, will continue to be run by its existing management.

Ran Oren, co-CEO Altrad, said, “The move to this new structure will allow us to provide better support to the business, while the experience in the regional leadership teams provides continuity of service to customers so they can be assured of the same high levels of delivery.
