It plans to add hundreds of jobs in Singapore alone, according to Jon-Paul Pritchard, Dyson’s global head of talent acquisitions, on the sidelines of the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore on 20 September.

The recruitment plan includes engineers, as well as employees working on production, design and operations, he added.

The company, which is best known for its vacuum cleaners and hand dryers, was founded by engineer and billionaire James Dyson. The company employs close to 6,000 engineers and scientists, spread across Asia and the UK. It has since expanded into air purifiers and hair-care products as well as embarked on a costly project to build an electric car by 2021.
