Hugely successful growth journey for creative company

Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, Rebecca Evans with Owner of Wild Creations, Matt Wild and Business in Focus CEO, Phil Jones

A creative company is enjoying a hugely successful growth journey with support from the Welsh Government's Business Wales service.

Wild Creations carve, mould and cast to create large scale props and displays for use in global theme parks and at major events across the world.

The company produced the Ball in the Wall at Cardiff Castle in celebration of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and a 13ft smoke-flaring dragon at Caerphilly Castle in association with Cadw.

Internationally, Wild Creations’ impressive portfolio includes developing a life-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex for the launch the Jurassic World – Fallen Kingdom film in 2018, and a replica Dodge Charger car to promote Fast and Furious 8. Exporting now accounts for around 90 per cent of the business’ work.

Supported by the Business Wales service, Wild Creations have created 36 high-quality jobs over the past 12 months and continue to grow and recruit.

Rebecca Evans, the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, visited the Cardiff-based business to see some of its current projects.

She also met with a range of other businesses which have received support from the Business Wales service to discuss the business support ecosystem in Wales. The event was arranged by Business in Focus, a social enterprise responsible for delivering Entrepreneurship and Start Up and Business Development & Growth support services for Business Wales.
