yes, how dare he show such blatant support of women :
Inventor of the Dyson to open new university targeted at women
Sir James said: ‘Something like 45% of our workforce here are female. We don’t think that is good enough.
‘We want to get the intake up to 50% (female) and a much higher percentage of female engineers in our workforce.
Dyson launched the £22 million institute to feed home grown talent into the engineering industry, which has a shortfall of 64,000 people each year.
A previous comment from an STWer :
He employs 3500 people in the UK all highly skilled engineering and R&D jobs and from a wide variety of countries. He’s expanding his uk operations, setting up a Science and Enigneering ‘University’ to encourage more engineers and scientists I the UK. All his intellectual property is based in the UK and he’s developing his new EV in the UK.
His highly automated production lines are in Malaysia so the products themselves are assembled abroad…but so will over 90% of all the other products in your home and the clothes you wear and the bikes you ride etc.
Oh and he pays his taxes in the UK. Properly too.
If you ever get a chance to go round his UK facility it is a truly inspiring and impressive place to be. One of the few remaining British proper innovative engineering companies.
