From the BBC report
Dyson has announced that it is moving its headquarters to Singapore, from Malmesbury in Wiltshire.
The move by the appliance maker means two executives will relocate - chief financial officer Jorn Jensen and chief legal officer Martin Bowen.
Other work at Malmesbury will not be affected and no jobs will be lost.
Chief executive Jim Rowan said it was not to do with Brexit or tax but added: "It's to make us future-proof for where we see the biggest opportunities."
He added: "We have seen an acceleration of opportunities to grow the company from a revenue perspective in Asia. We have always had a revenue stream there and will be putting up our best efforts as well as keeping an eye on investments.
"We would describe ourselves as a global technology company and in fact we have been a global company for some time. Most successful companies these days are global."

Top bloke Sir James, keeping Britain great

... Chief Executive Jim Rowan said the manufacturer of air purifiers, hairdryers and cleaner, lauded by politicians as a British success story, was a “global technology company”, with 96 percent of its sales outside Britain.
“Our growth rate in Asia has doubled most other places in the world over recent years,” he said, adding that more than half of its profit came from the region and the move was aimed at “future proofing” Dyson.
Rowan said the company, which broke through the 1 billion pound ($1.3 billion) barrier for annual profit in 2018, was moving to be near its manufacturing centers and the markets where it was seeing the biggest demand.
“It allows us to make sure we will be putting our best efforts to secure those opportunities, as well as keeping an eye on those investments, especially EV (electric vehicles) and batteries,” he told reporters on Tuesday.
There would be a “negligible difference” to its tax payments as a result, said Rowan, who is already based in Singapore, where the corporate tax rate is 17 percent. It is 19 percent in Britain, but is set to fall to 18 percent in 2020.
He said he would be joined there by other senior executives including the company’s chief financial officer, once the paperwork to re-register was complete.
Rowan said the Chinese market had grown in four years from a start-up to a market of a similar size to the United States.
James Dyson came out in favor of Brexit days before the 2016 vote, when he said Britain could be about 18.5 billion pounds better off each year if it left the European Union.
But with only weeks before Brexit, other manufacturers are warning of huge damage if no divorce deal is struck.
Rowan did not foresee see any issues relating to the movement of goods for Dyson.
“If your supply chain is in Asia, and you are manufacturing in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia, then obviously you don’t get badly affected with those changes post-Brexit,” he said.
Dyson, which has 5,853 engineers and scientists working on its new electric car and other products, said it was still expanding its research and engineering operation in Britain.
It reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 1.1 billion pounds ($1.42 billion) in 2018 on turnover up 28 percent to 4.4 billion pounds.
Dyson also said on Tuesday it had hired executive Roland Krueger from Infiniti Motor Company and Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) to oversee its automotive project.
“We expect to be able to go in and disrupt yet another industry using bespoke Dyson technology and innovation,” Rowan said.
In October, it said it would build its electric car in Singapore because it said it was close to suppliers and Asian markets for the vehicle, which is due to launch in 2021.

He doesn't want to be based in the UK because Singapore has a trade agreement with the EU.

And I bought one of his vacuum cleaners about 9 months ago and it's useless.

pr maybe they're moving to Singapore because they believe Brexit isn't happening and the UK remains shackled to the titanic
Bye bye then is my see you to him
Don't bother bringing your rubbish hoovers here would be my other message to him
Ban Dyson products coming into the country
Don't bother bringing your rubbish hoovers here would be my other message to him

he already does his manufacturing outside Britain , this is pre Brexit
Post Brexit set a hefty tariff on all dyson products coming into the U.K.
Will help and encourage local manufacturers who employ British workers

No he can take them with him as well
If he's moving his HQs then he take all his doss factories, his scientists etc with him as well, we don't need them and we don't want them if they aren't 100% committed to Britain
If he's going to make threats he should be politely escorted to the airport and politely told to leave
And he can take his advert with him as well
What kind of "leader" wants to be front center on a stupid ITV advert ?

So our politicians who want us to be ruled by the eu are to be hung then?
So far this week:
Sony moving moving to the Netherlands
P&O reflagging as Cypriot
Dyson moving to Singapore
It's still Wedmesday.
I’ve more respect for Brexiteers who voted because they wanted to limit immigration rather than the utter spastics who think Brexit will be good for our economy. It will be a total disaster as shown by Dyson.

Ruled by the EU!?
What utter tosh. Tell me how we’re ruled by the EU.
If you’re interested as to why that statement is complete bollocks I suggest you look at Britain’s voting record in EU matters.

I could pay for several hundred Dyson hoovers Crippen. Whether I can afford to buy another piece of junk off him is another matter as I have high blood pressure.
James Dyson, June 2016: “We will create more wealth and more jobs by being outside the EU.”
It’s almost as if these chancers don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.

Let them go who cares
The sooner we are rid of em the better
How is Dyson sticking his hoovers into his boot and legging it going to effect us?
Look at the state of the country with them being here? robbing people blind for cr** hoovers ffs, robbing people blind is all they do
good riddance
The country was a mess before the vote, so its not going to be any worse when they up sticks and high tail it out of here
Maybe they can take those CCTVs and other big brother gadgets they had installed all over the country with them?

Dyson is a company that pays millions of pounds in taxes to our government that in turn uses that money to pay for essential services.
Do you not understand that?
What do you think would happen if dozens of companies the size of Dyson, that employs thousands of people here in the UK, decided to base themselves in Singapore?

We pay taxes? and they may pay taxes but they don't spend it on our essential services 
look at the state of our roads and the NHS ffs
How about we threaten to leave the country?
And we'd survive, its a horrible lifestyle working for those companies anyway, people bomb up and down the country daily, getting into accidents etc so they can make people like Dyson even richer.
Let them go, and they can take the government with them as well.

Dyson is still investing at his R/D center here in the UK so don't worry about those 2 job losses. As usual this story is all headline and no substance
Macarony - you’ve utterly missed the point, which is that the UK exchequer will no longer receive tens of millions of pounds of Dyson corporation tax payments every year.

If you've had it for 16 years Trilby I presume it's not cordless. Mine is and you need to be a civil engineer to empty the thing ( it's possible I have a dodgy one ) but when it does condescend to work it fills up in 5 mins.
No, it's a corded stand-up cylinder type. I've never given any of these cordless things any credence.
Good post from macarony.
Same with the shrinking of the coalmining industry.
How many jobs were lost there without so much as a whimper from the ones who now get hysterical at two jobs from Dyson going to Singapore?

Hi Crippen -seeing as you must have missed it earlier:
In moving HQ the UK exchequer will no longer receive tens of millions of pounds of Dyson corporation tax payments every year.
Is that clear?

facebook,google etc set their headquaters up and that's considered as the origin of the country visa vi their tax status,hard to believe that eventually if Singapore is considered the country under which dyson,s tax is calculated ,that's where it will be paid ,regardless of how many workers he has here or turnover he has in the uk, this is a brucie bnus on top of the trade deal access he,ll have into 600 million people of the EU,the same 600 million he campaigned for business,s in the uk to tuyrn their back on,
when dyson was on platforms with bojo ,fox etc in the campaign they were selling the dream of Singapore on thames ,less regulation,less red tape,workers rights etc,etc, this is obviously now a distant dream for bojo,dyson and co

So beeswax Dyson farming will lose its single farm payment when we leave the eu, that's really selfish of Mr Dyson, you wonder why heseltine wants to keep getting his?
Singapore has a trade deal with the EU , without being part of the EU and without having freedom of movement

The man advocates Brexit then, just weeks before we're set to leave, moves his HQ to a foreign country.
That would suggest Brexit is going to be detrimental to his business and the man is, in fact, a liar and a charlatan.

I have a Dyson cylinder cleaner, not stand up. I bought it because it is one of the most attractive
household appliances I have ever seen...it is bordering on art.
However it does have a lot of suck. So I will be glad when it dies, although I will keep it for ornamentation.
EU rules limit suck, whether Dyson1 stays here or goes to singapore his hoovers should have more suck now.

Here’s the question again Eboue you havent answered
You said a business man would never advocate something that was bad for his business
Dyson was in favour of Brexit
Do you think Brexit is good for business ?
Go ahead , let’s see

Actually nothing will change on Dyson vacuum cleaners, as they will be imported to the EU won't they?
The EU reduced suck rule was so Vacuum Cleaners would use less energy, but since they now have to be used for
a longer period to pick up the same amount as before, it is hardly saving much energy is it

A person in charge of a company would never, ever advocate something that was bad for his company. The role of business is to make money for shareholders.
Dyson was in favour of Brexit.
Do I think Brexit is bad for Dyson? Well yes I do, judging on his decision to move the HQ of his business to a foreign land. Why would he do that if Brexit was going to benefit his business?

politicspunterI got my penis stuck in a vacuum cleaner. WHAT DO I DO?
I was giving myself some happy time... when it got stuck.
I have work in the morning.. i don't want to go to work with a hose on my penis.
How to i get it off?
I found this on yahoo
I seem to remember years ago someone performing on stage getting his penis stuck in a vacuum cleaner.
So perhaps that was the REAL reason why suck had to reduced on vacuum cleaners.
Here are your words Eboue

Try and engage tour brain before posting.
Cheers.
So just to clarify then you are only concerned with losses to the tax payer through closure and relocation of business since the Brexit vote but not before?
Would I be correct in my assumption that if Britain stayed in the EU or the customs union, then you and other remain supporters interest in British Industry would once again be nil?
