Our work now spans marine civils, flood defence, offshore renewables, cables and nuclear infrastructure.
With an in-house engineering and fabrication team, and a fleet of jack-up barges and marine plant, we can offer tailored support across the entire project lifecycle – from early contractor involvement to operations, maintenance and decommissioning.
Throughout our growth, we’ve remained a values-led business. As a founding member of IJUBOA and member of the National Workboat Association, we uphold the highest industry standards for health, safety and environmental care. And with initiatives like SAFER7MINDS and YOUR7MENTOR, we continue to invest in the people, practices and culture that have shaped our journey.
Our Journey
Built from the water up
From our first project to our latest offshore installation, every chapter has shaped the expertise and values we bring to the work we do today. Here’s a brief look at how we got here.
Red7Marine is founded by Nick Offord, supporting construction projects along local inland waterways, which later led to larger projects with clients across the energy sector.
The company purchases its first jack-up barge, and enters the marine civils and offshore renewables sectors, diversifying into marine construction engineering, and piling.
Kristen Branford joins Red7Marine as Commercial Director, bringing 25+ years of marine construction and piling expertise into the business.
John Walsh joins as Chairman, backed by decades of operational and strategic leadership. He later leads a management buyout, acquiring the company.
Red7Marine expands into large-scale, multi-million-pound infrastructure projects as both Principal Contractor and specialist subcontractor, growing its fleet and team to meet demand.
