About us: At Dyson we believe everything could be better. Fuelled by a frustration with things that don't work properly and a relentless obsession with making them work better, we've spent the last 27 years pioneering inventions and continually improving. We're growing fast. And our ambition is huge. But it's not simply about more people and more profit. Dyson is all about pioneering ideas and new technologies. It's about inventing the future. Our philosophy remains the same as it was 27 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner. We remain family-owned.
