Both good articles, lots of stuff that I'd not read anywhere else.

Moose,

Thanks for posting.  I just read the 2006 article and was happy to see Dyson had place 500 of the 600 manufacturing jobs after his plant closure.  Dyson received much bad press for the 600 job losses.  It seems the team responsible for making clear what actually happened, i.e., 100 jobs lost and not the much reported 600 is the same team responsible for announcing Dyson’s newest breakthrough technologies  Root + Core = Seven years of no suction loss (per the Dyson Japan launch event)/no maintence, no pre-motor filter cleaning.        DIB

 

James recently made an audio podcast for TimesOnline.

The Telegraph is spotlighting the 1,000 most powerful in British business (Dyson ranked 9th).

.

Uk guys:  Ranked 20th - Peter Jones was a judge here in the US on the t.v. show American Inventor.  He came off as real nice guy, fair but tuff when needed.  It was good to see a super wealthy and successful man treat the small guys/contestants the way he did.        DIB

Pah! Peter Jones? He rose to fame over here a few years ago on the TV programme Dragon's Den (Similar format to American Inventor). I thought he was okay to start with, but don't think that highly of him now... he appears to be a bit too ruthless and egotistical.

I too, thought Peter Jones was okay in early series of Dragon's Den. Ultimately, he became an arrogant arse.

To bad, the guy I saw a year or two ago came off as sincere and wanting to help the contestants/inventors.        DIB
