"I am extremely proud of the new technology developed by our engineers in Malmesbury. It is vital that Dyson - and the UK - continues to invest in the nation's engineering talent if we are to stay ahead," said company founder, James Dyson.
"With excellent young aspiring scientists and engineers in our schools it falls to companies such as Dyson to encourage this future generation. As our need for good design and technology increases so does the need for creative and adventurous designers, engineers and scientists."
The company highlights that this investment in British engineering talent follows James Dyson’s recent report Ingenious Britain, which calls for education reforms and greater R&D tax credits to improve Britain's position as a high tech exporter.
