Key appointment for Draig Group
Dave Nichols, who lives in Caerphilly, will be responsible for forming and developing strategic partnerships for the Draig Business Services Group, as well as using his experience to further the fast growing company’s cross selling initiatives.
With over 30 years of experience in business, most recently working as Operations Manager for IG Lintels Limited, Mr Nichols will work closely with the Group’s Managing Director Ross Porter to help develop the company’s existing relationships and expand the already impressive portfolio of clients.
Dave brings with him considerable experience of industry, having previously worked on key projects during his Operations Manager role at IG Lintels Limited and during his time as Manufacturing Manager at Pirelli Telecom Cables and Systems UK previously.
He said: "Draig is a forward thinking and proactive company that recognises that you can grow organically by having good products and providing first class customer service. I have always felt that these are important ingredients of success for most businesses and I am excited at the prospect of joining the dynamic Group. I hope to bring new ideas to the company and put the contacts and experience developed in my career to good use. I have now worked from both sides of the recruitment desk and I have first hand knowledge of what it is like to manage recruitment agencies being the client and to have managed temporary labour contracts with over a hundred temps on site." Said Dave.
Since it was established in 1999 by husband and wife team Ross and Claire Porter, Draig has grown significantly from its original recruitment roots. Having twice been ranked in the Fast Growth 50 index, the group now encompasses recruitment, training, graphic design, printing, signage and web development.
Draig Business services Group's Managing Director Ross Porter, said: "I am delighted to welcome Dave to the team. He is a very experienced and well respected business professional that will undoubtedly help us achieve our development plans for the business. I am confident he will play a positive role in helping us to drive the business forward and his appointment is a clear indication of our commitment to our ambitious growth plans."
The strategic appointment comes three months after the Draig Group opened its doors of its brand new Headquarters at Caerphilly Business Park, Caerphilly.
Ross Porter went on to say, "having a group of complementary businesses is a benefit to both Draig and its clients alike. As a business services provider, we understand the importance of cross promotional activity between divisions as well as the importance of adding value to our clients by offering them a variety of high quality and innovative services and cost savings to match. Dave will play a key role in helping the business to continue to achieve the success it has done so to date."
