Curious...are the dyson new hires and his current team all dedicated to the design/engineering of his vacs or are they spread out in diff divisions..alotted so much time for each project.....how many design team/engineers does his compitition have [riccar pansc hvr..ect] . With his new hires...would that not reflect as a positive for dyson and the future. turtle
Hi turtle,
Is this an update of the original article posted here? Dyson's claim was to take on 300 and some personnel for design. He did not say what exactlly they'd be working on. He also did not say when this would happen and he also left a big "if" in regard as to whether the UK educational system could provide worthy candidates for the proposed slots. (Whoa, what a kick in the teeth.) I don't think you need 300 or more people to come up with a bright idea just for a vacuum cleaner unless you're looking to flood the market with a dozen or so models all at once. It not cost effective. One would think, there's a Dyson fridge, TV or whatever else in the plan. In any event the gist of the article I posted a few weeks ago was more a press release than anything else. No newsworthy "where, when and how" was included. The other odd twist here is that if my recall is correct the amount of new hires will not compensate in relevant fashion for all those lost when he moved manufacturing out of the UK. Venson

Hi Venson, turtle...
It's not an update. Hertz posted the same article under a new thread yesterday [along with the dyson car lift trick] that you posted here on this thread. Carmine D.

Carmine what are you talking about? I never posted this article. Only the vacuum lift trick. Next time don't just use your memory. WOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TysTMPWm9s0&feature=related Also, Sir James Dyson is hiring *350* new engineers IN THE UK at his main base in Malmesbury. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/apr/26/dyson-recruit-350-engineers PRETTY SWEET :D
My memory is usually pretty good. How about yours?
