Our Group

From our home in Wrexham, we’ll serve up the freshest cuts of factual content, fact ent formats and documentaries for a UK and international audience.

Headed up by Creative Director, Ben Smith Ty’r Ddraig will produce shows in both Welsh and English that entertain the broadest possible audience. From the land of song and storytelling we will spin stories out from Wales to the rest of The World.

Ty’r Draig is part of the Banijay backed Workerbee Group – a busy hive of northern and nations creatives.

Headed by technical director Keren Aarons, Workerbee Post was created out of a need to have more control over how our post-production needs were fulfilled and how they were managed. Agility, scalability, and value were the key driving forces behind this initiative which has seen us grow from a handful of edits to a now sizeable enterprise that has the facilities and technical expertise to rival the largest post-production studios in the UK.

Working with the latest remote desktop technologies enables us to put editors to work anywhere in the world very quickly, and we have developed technically robust workflow solutions for the ever evolving post landscape.

We also have partnerships with world class audio post facilities, where all our audio needs can be taken care of.
