New Dyson technology campus will create "world class products and jobs"
Dyson hopes to create more high-skilled jobs and advance its R&D activities with the construction of a second technology campus in the Cotswolds.
Located close to the company’s headquarters in Malmesbury, the new facility will represent a tenfold increase in Dyson’s UK footprint.
Company founder James Dyson said, “After 25 years of UK growth, and continuing expansion globally, we are fast outgrowing our Malmesbury Campus. The 517-acre Hullavington Campus is an investment for our future. It will enable us to continue creating world class products and jobs right here in the Cotswolds”.
The company – best known for its domestic appliances - has committed £2.5bn to future technologies and spends £7m a week on R&D activities. The new campus, to be built on the site of a former RAF base, is expected to become a global hub for future research and development efforts at Dyson, which is the UK’s largest investor in robotics. The company is also realising plans to develop solid-state battery cells, vision systems, machine learning, and AI.
