Two Industry Leaders Unite to Power the Future of Wind

Specialist Wind Services (SWS) and Blackrow Group are proud to announce a strategic partnership that brings together operational excellence and engineering precision to deliver a complete, end-to-end solution for the onshore and offshore wind industry.

Rooted in the Humber, the UK’s Energy Estuary, this partnership is built on local strength with global ambition. From installation and operations to upgrades and end-of-life project support, SWS and Blackrow now offer a single, integrated service that prioritises safety, innovation and reliability.

“This partnership is about more than capability, it’s about culture,” said Lewis Wilson, Managing Director at SWS. “We’re combining hands-on, safety-critical field expertise with world-class engineering to deliver differently and deliver better.”

“Together, we’re engineering resilience into every project,” added Luke O’Brien, Structural and Piping Director at Blackrow Group. “We’re proud to support the wind sector’s growth and the UK’s Net Zero transition with solutions that last.”

The partnership provides a complete solution for wind onshore and offshore wind operations, including safety-critical technical teams and asset integrity, fabrication, machining  and mechanical repairs, retrofits and upgrades, tower maintenance and vessel mobilisation, through to surveys, NDT inspections and engineering design.

Whether it’s a complex offshore mobilisation or a precision retrofit, the SWS x Blackrow Group partnership delivers with clarity, care, and commitment, from the quayside to the tower top.

This collaboration reflects a shared vision, to challenge complacency, raise standards and drive clean growth in the renewable energy sector. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of demanding environments, SWS and Blackrow Group are setting a new benchmark for delivery in wind.
