What Sherwood does

Sherwood Solutions Ltd. (operating as Sherwood) is a Nigeria-based, privately held integrated energy and commodity trading company founded in 2019 and headquartered at 25A Lugard Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos. The company provides procurement, contracting, and supply chain solutions across five service lines: Energy Solutions (natural gas, LPG, refined petroleum products, and renewable/hybrid power project facilitation), Commodity Trading (crude, refined energy products, fertilizers, chemicals), Procurement & Equipment Sourcing (heavy machinery, marine equipment, heavy lift and transportation), Government Contracting (public-sector procurement, infrastructure project facilitation, security and surveillance equipment), and Project Facilitation & Corporate Solutions (international partner representation, supply chain management, logistics). Sherwood's stated footprint covers Nigeria, broader Africa, and international markets.

Sherwood generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on commodity and equipment trading, supplemented by professional services for project facilitation, logistics, and contract management. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting two primary segments: government agencies (federal, state, and local) and private sector/industrial clients (notably international oil companies). Pricing is project-by-project and negotiated rather than publicly disclosed; the company does not maintain a software platform, API, or proprietary technology stack.

Shawood's executed project portfolio includes SPMT (Self-Propelled Modular Transporter) heavy-lift and logistics engagements for Chevron (EGP3 modules, EGTL pressure vessel, SPM 04 & 05 buoys) and Total Energies (Ikike topside module), alongside government projects such as the electrification of Orugbo, Ode-Itsekiri, and Usele communities for Delta State Government, solar-powered borehole construction for the Niger Delta Development Commission, and canalization/shore protection work for the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs. The company has 11–50 employees and operates without disclosed funding, ownership structure, financial metrics, or named leadership team.
