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.
