“We have grown quickly and, like all companies, we review our global structures from time to time to ensure we are prepared for the future,” said CEO Hanno Kirner yesterday, “as such, we are proposing changes to our organisation, which may result in redundancies.
“Dyson operates in increasingly fierce and competitive global markets, in which the pace of 
innovation and change is only accelerating.
“We know we always need to be entrepreneurial and agile – principles that are not new to Dyson.
“Decisions which impact close and talented colleagues are always incredibly painful.
“Those whose roles are at risk of redundancy as a result of the proposals will be supported through the process.”
Dyson had sales of £6.5 billion in 2022 and £7.1 billion in 2023.
The company also employs 2,000 staff at its Singapore HQ.
Recently Sir James Dyson said that the UK had become a place where “growth has become a dirty word and an idea too risky to contemplate.”
In a letter to the Times last year, Dyson said: “Ministers talk hubristically of Britain becoming a ‘science and technology superpower’ but their woeful policies diminish this to a mere political slogan. In the UK, Dyson now faces rocketing corporation tax (wiping out any tax credits for research and development) and a crippling shortage of qualified engineers.”
