New Era of Growth as Leading Business Expands Operations Following Investment
In a move that signals exciting times ahead for one of the region’s fastest-growing companies, Dragon Group has announced the appointment of a new Operations Director.
With offices in Cardiff and nearby Radstock, near Bath, the award-winning business is behind several high-profile brands including Dragon Signs, Dragon Digital, Route Media, Colour Studios, Sportin Wales and Businessin Wales.
Employing more than 80 staff and working with clients across the UK and beyond – Holland & Barrett, Worthington’s, Leekes, FAW, Transport for Wales, Travis Perkins, Leicester Tigers, the RNLI and Apetito among them – the Group is pushing forward into its next phase of expansion.
The new Operations Director, who joined Dragon Signs in 2022, brings over 16 years of experience in signage, construction and operations leadership. Based locally with his family, he will oversee delivery across all areas of the business, focusing on efficiency, innovation, and embedding consistent processes following significant investment in software and state-of-the-art print technology.
“This is an amazing company which is growing all the time – it’s a pleasure to work alongside so many talented people and help take the business forward,” he said.
“Since I joined, we’ve seen huge advances – from moving into new headquarters to taking on more clients and expanding the team. I’m excited to now play a broader role in helping shape our future.”
With a background in the Royal Engineers, plus experience leading national installation teams and running his own subcontracting business, he brings a hands-on and disciplined approach to the role. He will also take on responsibility for health and safety and ISO requirements across the portfolio.
“Joining Dragon made a big difference not just professionally but personally,” he said.
“I was working away all the time and barely saw my family. Now I get to be more present with them and part of something incredible at work.”
Dragon Group Managing Director, Rhys Harrington, added: “Chris has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, commercial vision and a deep understanding of our Group’s mission.
“The promotion is a natural progression and reflects the value he brings to our team and our future. Chris has already introduced innovative systems and processes that have improved collaboration and productivity across the board.
“His journey is a testament to his dedication, work ethic, and deep understanding of our industry.”
