Financial figures

The figures for profit etc. in the info box seem very wrong. Compare to: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/03/27/sir-james-dyson-remain-controls-dyson-reports-record-results/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.251.169 (talk) 19:47, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

US Headquarters

Why is the US headquarters listed in the opening paragraph? Dyson ins't a US company and it's global HQ is in Wiltshire, with offices all around the world. I cannot see why the US HQ is singled out other than because the author had a biased US-centric approach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.15.235 (talk) 15:52, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for Singapore move

The current text says "On 22 January 2019, Dyson announced plans to move the company HQ to Singapore in order to take advantage of the recently negotiated free trade agreement between the European Union and Singapore that would not be available to Dyson in a post-Brexit United Kingdom", but the link supplied says the opposite. In fact, the EU Singapore FTA is not even mentioned in the link supplied... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.23.89 (talk) 03:48, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About "in small Japanese apartments"

日本語で失礼します。歴史の節に「in small Japanese apartments」とありますが、誤解を招く表現だと思います。住宅産業新聞社「住宅経済データ集」によると、持ち家・借家合わせた一戸あたり床面積国際比較では日本は95平米であり、英国（87平米）より広いです。

Average floor area per house

USA 148㎡
France 99㎡

Please stop edit warring!

@2A01:4C8:1560:CCC:1:1:462B:36A0@222.99.72.23 I found that both of you are engaging an edit war in this article. Could we discuss it here? Pavlov2 (talk) 18:14, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have semi-protected Dyson (company) for two weeks. Let me know if the disruption resumes at that time. Cullen328 (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

If we look at all Dyson's social media channels and their websites, they all state the company is located in the UK. Wikipedia seems to be the only source stating it is a Singaporean company. I understand they have registered offices there, but they also have registered offices in the UK. Please can this be reviewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.66.102.161 (talk) 11:27, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Founding Date

Several sources including Consumer Reports claim that the company was founded in 1979. ? Soco79 (talk) 13:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Companies House source (reference 1) confirms the 1991 date for Dyson Limited. Do the other sources give another company name? -- Wire723 (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dyson is a British company

- According to Business Filing Portal Of ACRA DYSON ASIA HOLDINGS is a Singapore registered company. ( Not DYSON LIMITED). The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) is Singapore’s government agency responsible for regulating businesses, public accountants, and corporate service providers

- DYSON LIMITED is still a UK registered business https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02627406 According to Companies House, the official UK government register of companies, Dyson Limited is incorporated in England and Wales under company number 02627406

- Dyson is still a family owned business. James Dyson and family likely own 100% - who is based in UK. [[1]]

- Dyson can still be considered a British company due to its origins and founding in the United Kingdom. Moving HQ doesnt make it a Singapore company. Factors like the founder’s nationality, the company’s history, and where key activities occur contribute to its national identity Astropulse (talk) 12:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much like Alibaba Group, where the headquarters are the located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, and registered in George Town, Cayman Island as "Alibaba Group Holdings Limited". 113.210.105.22 (talk) 07:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
