Jonathan is a Chartered Chemical and Bioprocess Engineer and joins Owen Mumford with extensive experience as a senior manager in the medical industry having previously worked for GE Healthcare and Schering-Plough.

Reporting directly to the Head of Operations, Jonathan will have overall responsibility for the Cotswold Division, a state of the art production facility located in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. This site underwent an extensive expansion programme in 2007, which saw it double in size to meet the increased global demand for Owen Mumford’s medical devices. The new facility was officially opened by the now Prime Minister David Cameron.

Modestino Graziano, Head of Operations said:

“We look forward to welcoming Jonathan to the role of General Manager. His expertise in leading teams coupled with advanced engineering and technical knowledge of medical device manufacturing makes him perfectly positioned to take on this very important position at our Cotswold Division. I feel confident this appointment will help the company move towards its 2020 vision.”

Jonathan Byrne said:

“I am delighted to be joining such a reputable British company which has defied the economic downturn by continuing to expand and develop. I am particularly excited about Owen Mumford’s predicted growth over the next few years and keen to play my part in helping the company achieve its ambitious targets.”
