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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
