    The move to Singapore has been mentioned in several comments but he does address it in the linked piece:

    > Some might say: “Hang on, it’s all very well James Dyson telling Britain to support doers and makers, but he took his company’s manufacturing to Malaysia in 2002 and then set up a global headquarters in Singapore in 2019.”

    > The answer is worth exploring. In 2002 Dyson was expanding rapidly and urgently needed a new factory, but planning permission was refused. We were able to use empty factories in Singapore and Malaysia.

    > However, Dyson now employs about 2,000 people in Britain, which is about twice the number we employed at the time of the move.

    James Dyson…

    the man who did untold damage to Britain by advocating to Brexit and then left for Singapore

    the man who bought up thousands of acres of farmland to avoid inheritance tax

    the man who needs go heal himself…
