Key staff

Dijana Bareta

Purchasing and Customer Relationship Manager

You are likely to cross paths with Dijana when you call or visit Myriad Engineering. She is the first point of contact for orders, delivery and general inquiries. When not talking to our Customers, Dijana is busy ordering the material we need to make it all happen in the factory. Dijana joined our team at the start of 2022 and is really making her mark on her role. She is a key member of our Leadership group and liaises with the Factory team to ensure that projects are being completed to schedule.

Camila Leonardi-Grassi

Quoting

Hailing from Brazil, Camila joined our team early in 2021. Her role at Myriad Engineering is to receive the drawings from our customers, analyse their needs and provide the customer with a quote for the job.

Whether you have a detailed drawing or simply an idea or prototype, Camila will work with you to give you a fixed price on the design and production of your components, parts or products. Camila works closely with other members of our team to plan your design and source the best priced material. Camila has an Engineering background and during her time in Brazil she was involved in the manufacture and assembly of the very machines we are using in our factory. This is a huge asset to Myriad and has given her great insight as to our machine capabilities.

Michael Rutten

Factory Manager, CNC

Michael keeps things running smoothly for our team, overseeing production in the CNC department and throughout the factory. He checks each project before production starts, reviewing the drawings and materials needed and scheduling the workflow. Michael’s been supporting our Myriad team since 2016 and is very much hands on, with his finger on the pulse with regard to the latest materials, tools and machinery needed to complete each job to the highest standard.

You might not deal directly with Michael as he is mostly on the floor or liaising with our suppliers.

Mitchell Spencer

Production Team Leader

Mitchell works in the factory, primarily operating the robot welder. As one of our Leadership Team, Mitchell helps to keep the workshop running smoothly and provides support to other members of the team.
