Excellence in Galvanizing
Newport Galvanizers, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing, was called upon to provide its specialist hot dip galvanizing service to steel that Jack Basten used to create an imposing sculpture of a large red dragon.
A former professional sculptor with Blaenau County Council, Jack now works at Tesco’s distribution centre in Magor and was commissioned on behalf of the company to produce the Welsh dragon after one of his line managers, Jim Whitehead, saw some of his previous work. The dragon, which took Jack three months to create, has been installed outside Tesco’s storage units at Llanwern, while it is set to be auctioned off in the New Year, with all the proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.
