A story of invention. Driven by frustration with his old vacuum and a passion for problem solving, James Dyson invented the first bagless vacuum. No big companies wanted to buy his invention – selling vacuum bags was far too profitable. So James decided to set up his own company.
He called it Dyson.
From its origins in a small workshop in rural England, Dyson has grown into a technology company with a global footprint. We now have offices from Auckland to Zurich, Shanghai, Singapore and Chicago.
Our global reputation is priceless and it always hangs on what we do next. Dyson is a unique technology enterprise. We pioneer. Our biggest category today didn’t even exist a few years ago. Our next biggest category? That could be where you come in.
We’re a global technology enterprise, full of ambitious people, willing to adapt and grow, to disrupt the status quo. And it’s through the performance of our people and machines that we’ll meet our ambitions and deliver them in the right way – the Dyson way.
What we do
Obsessed with improvement
At Dyson we are focused on solving the problems that others have ignored; solving them first using our technology and ingenuity. In order to achieve this, we need to pioneer technologies that are different and authentic. This is the core of what we do and who we are. We must strive to create the future, every single day by developing new things, different things, things that go against the grain with a diverse and global team of ingenious minds.
Inventing the future
Dyson employs over 14,000 people and is present in more than 80 countries. And while we are growing fast, we want Dyson to remain a start-up in spirit with the freedom of experimentation and learning, constantly reinventing our products as well as reinventing how we work, how we sell and how we support our owners. At the same time, we are working through the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson Award and Dyson Institute to inspire future engineers and pioneering a new approach to engineering education.
Unconventional
Our philosophy remains the same as it was almost 30 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner. We remain family-owned. We don’t bow to outside shareholders or report to the stock exchange. Instead we plot our own path, unshackled from conventional thinking.
Leaders not followers
When you work for Dyson, we give you the chance to do things you can’t do anywhere else. You could start out demonstrating our machines in one of our Dyson Demos and end up leading one of our commercial teams. Underlining everything we do in this diverse environment is the need to always show respect, supporting each other as one team to overcome whatever challenges we encounter. We drive empowerment, development and equality in an inclusive environment for our people around the world.

“All over the world, Dyson’s engineers are hell-bent on creating new technology and delivering it to our millions of customers. We like looking at problems in the ‘wrong’ way and pioneering our own solutions. As a result, we are succeeding and growing. But to continue this exciting journey we need the best and brightest engineers and digital experts to join us.” – James Dyson, Founder and Chief Engineer
