Yes.
James Dyson offshores all manufacturing while claiming to be supporting Britain. His company have an R&D office in Wiltshire.

Chris & Marc Dyson run an unrelated manufacturing company based in the UK

jeez too subtle again..

For WTFH James Dyson (the hoover bloke) reluctantly offshored after attempting to stay onshore (he did for decades) and asking for assistance from the government.

The Dyson brothers have a naff website with no hoovers....

You never see a builder with a Dyson. They all use Henry.

Coming soon to a showroom near you....

i prefer beef and chicken, myself, but hey, whatever floats your boat

They've been in Devon for more than 20 years, trust me, that's by no means the strangest sort of thing that goes on down there...

Easy mistake, my folks are not far away, and the border meanders a bit. My dad swears by Otter and Badger, and he swears even more when neither are available...

I prefer Palmers 200 (or Copper) when I’m down that way, but they are from Bridport, so no chance of getting them in Devon or Zummerzet.

I stand corrected. It’s not far over the border - we sometimes go to the Tytherleigh Arms which is just down the road from there. Good food, Otter and normally an interesting gin & rum selection.

Oh, and Chard is actually in Somerset...

You never see a builder with a Dyson. They all use Henry. Which are manufactured in Chard, Devon, cost less than a third of the price of a Dyson, clean just as well while using a fraction of the power.

They are also utterly indestructible, and never break down. Unlike the last Dyson we had, which broke down more times than Gwyneth Paltrow.
Put it this way, with a Henry you could hoover up a house brick, and it would politely cough at you; show a Dyson some cat hair and it has a nervous breakdown.
Oh, and Chard is actually in Somerset, unless you meant Chardonnay, there's a few of them in Devon...

[woohoo]

You’re the one with the loathing of everything, cheer up mate!

ssshhh now.

I'm on my 2nd henry/harriet. The first was the old metal cased henry. I did change the motor on it but it eventually packed in and was no longer viable. It was probably 25 years old and had performed fantastic
The harriet was bought as a replacement, its used for cleaning the cars, cleaning out the fire, and also for building work.

[CoolCat]

no doubt it will be made in Malaysia just like their vacuum cleaners

[WTFH]

Why all the negativity. British engineering with ambition is fantastic or does that not fit in with your attitude of British self loathing.

WWTFHS.

Expect this to be the most popular vehicle in the scrappie by 2022.

In the same way that his vacs are the most discarded at your local amenity site.

Someone I worked with back in the day had a contract with Dyson.

I was given to understand that he was happy to see the end of the contract.
