Dyson to cut around 1,000 UK jobs
Dyson are set to cut around 1,000 jobs from its UK workforce as part of a wider move to reduce the company’s 15,000-strong global workforce.
The engineering company has warned that hundreds of staff across the country are impacted.
In total, the company has 3,500 UK employees with offices based in Wiltshire, Bristol and London.
Hanno Kirner, Dyson CEO, said the company would support those at risk of redundancy.
He said: “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. 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.
The manufacturer of innovative vacuum cleaners and other products said the cuts followed a review of its global workforce needs.
