Owen Mumford appoints group operations director

Owen Mumford has announced the appointment of Modestino Graziano as its group operations director, a promotion that also sees him join the company's board of directors.

Mr Graziano takes up his new position with immediate effect and has earned this promotion on the strength of the work he has done with the company's operations group since joining in 2010.

In the last three years, he has played a key role in leading a substantial expansion programme at Owen Mumford's sites in Woodstock and Chipping Norton, including the design and installation of cutting-edge manufacturing facilities and technology.

He can boast significant amounts of operational and management experience, allowing him to make a significant contribution at a business level within the executive group.

Mark Owen, chairman of Owen Mumford, said: "Modestino will continue to lead the group's operations, incorporating our manufacturing and supply chain activities and any future global operations activity that supports our growth ambitions."

This comes after the company announced the appointment of Eric Del Cotto as general manager for the Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa region earlier this year.
