Sheffield Green acquires training services business in Spain

The acquisition is part of its geographical expansion.

Sheffield Green has completed its acquisition of the Stier Training Services business in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.

The asset purchase was executed through Sheffield Green’s indirect, wholly owned Spanish subsidiary, Stier Training Services, SLU (STS), which acquired the training centre from Grupo Stier XXI, SLU for $2.0 m (€1.35 m).

STS specialises in delivering international certifications essential for professionals in the oil and gas, wind, renewable energy, and maritime industries. The facility holds accreditations from the Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation (OPITO) and the Global Wind Organisation (GWO).

As part of the acquisition, Sheffield Green secured key commercial contracts, including training services for the Canary Islands Government’s Forest Fire Intervention and Reinforcement Teams, and maritime vocational training for Spain’s Naval Social Institute. 

The deal also includes the transfer of approximately 13 existing employees from the training centre.

The acquisition forms part of Sheffield Green’s broader geographical expansion strategy. The Spanish facility will enhance the Group’s capacity to deliver industry-standard training across Spain and the wider European region, whilst the company explores additional training centres in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines.
