Dyson has announced plans to spend £100 million-pounds on a technology centre in Bristol.

The move forms part of the household appliance developer’s £2.75 billion five-year investment plan.

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.

In 2022 alone, 2,000 new employees joined the business – half of which were engineers, scientists, and coders.
