Dyson Relocates Bristol Staff to Wiltshire

Dyson has announced plans to relocate its workforce from Bristol to its Malmesbury campus, abandoning a £100 million investment in a new tech and research hub in the city. The move will consolidate 180 staff members at the Wiltshire location, which already houses the Dyson Institute for engineering students. Although the Bristol research center was expected to employ hundreds in AI and software roles, Dyson will now lease the newly refurbished building to another business. The relocation is tentatively scheduled for spring, coinciding with the expiration of Dyson's current office lease. This decision follows a previous announcement to cut a third of its UK workforce as part of a global restructuring aimed at future preparedness. Founder Sir James Dyson has been critical of UK economic policies, which he asserts have influenced the company's business decisions.
