Meet your new Dragon Oldbury team 🐉
Next up, meet Paul “Chalky” White – Supervisor at Dragon Asphalt Oldbury.
Chalky brings a huge amount of hands-on experience to the team, with 16 years in fabrication, 4 years as a maintenance fitter with Mixlance, and a further 13 years at Holcim Express Asphalt’s Darlaston plant, where his responsibilities covered supervision, weighbridge and batching.
One of the things that really stands out in Chalky’s career is his focus on plant reliability. During his time in maintenance, he helped take a plant from suffering regular breakdowns to running for nine months without a single breakdown.
That matters to us because our customers deserve reliability.
They deserve to know that when they arrive at Dragon, the plant is running, the material is ready and we are doing everything we can to get them loaded and back on the road quickly. Chalky’s experience, practical mindset and understanding of what keeps a plant performing will be a massive part of helping us deliver exactly that at Oldbury.
Away from work, Chalky is a dedicated family man who enjoys spending time with his family, nights out and exploring new places.

Meet your new Dragon Oldbury team – Chris Guest
With our new Oldbury site opening on 1st September, we’re introducing the people who will be driving it forward.
First up is Chris Guest, Business Manager at Dragon Asphalt Oldbury.
Chris brings over 17 years of asphalt industry experience, built across the West Midlands, giving him a strong understanding of both the operational side of the industry and the needs of local customers.
Since joining Dragon in 2025, Chris has played an important role in the development of Oldbury, bringing fresh ideas, local market knowledge and a practical, solutions-focused approach.
What really stands out, though, is his passion for customer service. Chris is relentless about getting things right, keeping customers informed, solving problems quickly and making sure the experience of dealing with Dragon is as easy and reliable as possible.
That focus will be central to what we want Oldbury to become: a dependable, responsive asphalt supplier for the Black Country, built around great service, fast turnaround times and strong local relationships.
And in Chris’s words, the objective is simple:
"Keep the customers happy, keep the plant running smoothly, and keep the asphalt hot, black and sticky".
Welcome to the team, Chris.
Dragon Asphalt Oldbury opens 1st September.
