Dyson said that the new Bristol site would hire hundreds of software and AI engineers.

According to reports, the company is also building a new battery factory in Singapore and spending £166 million on a technology centre in the Philippines.

"Just like our long-term investments in pioneering digital electric motor technology, Dyson’s next-generation battery technology will drive a major revolution in the performance and sustainability of Dyson’s machines," said James Dyson, the billionaire founder of Dyson.
