Wow, that's so weird 16:32 - Jan 22 with 8503 viewschicoazul

James Dyson is moving his business HQ to Singapore.

I wonder why?

It saddens me how much of a sh*tshow Brexit is - the elites are just laughing at the poor who are turkeys voting for Xmas.

2 points better off on a company turnover of 2.5bn, owned entirely by a man worth 9bn. I am sure he will give the difference to his staff though.

Manufacturing has been out there for sometime, well before Brexit was involved.

Design, however, has remained UK based:

Mr Rowan said it would be spending £200m in new buildings and testing facilities in Hullavington, and £44m in refreshing office space and adding new laboratories in Malmesbury as well as investing £31m for the young undergraduates at its university on the same site.

So, if Brexit was the real issue for moving HQ and Brexit means companys are not investing in the UK, why are Dyson investing £275m in Hullavington and Malmesbury?

As I literally say in the thread title; it's weird, isnt it? Surely a blue blood patriot like James wouldnt do something like this for lets say, tax reasons, would he.

Because it's a sop in comparison to what they'll be able to make elsewhere.

Isnt it nonetheless weird, that they have decided to move their HQ to Singapore? That happens to have a lower tax rate?

Whatever side of the brexit fence you stand, surely this looks like gross hypocrisy.



Not Brexit related.

I didnt say it was, although it may be. It is however, almost certainly to do with tax and making James ever richer, since he owns 100% of his company.

Soooo....are you saying you do indeed think it's because of tax that he is moving? Just to be clear.

If so it is fair to say he is a massive hypocrite and a bit of a cnt.

Haha. You honestly believe a Labour government was the reason for them changing HQ and not Brexit? If you are in business now there is only one thing on your mind, and it isn't Jeremy Corbyn.

Dyson is a hypocrite and liar.
