Dyson, which currrently employs 3600 people, says it is aiming to bring in a further 300 new graduates this year.

James Dyson says, ‘Martin’s leadership has resulted in an exceptional team achieving great things, for which I am very greatful.’

He adds, ‘Max shares my faith in young talent – or inexperience – and, as we begin a new phase, we are redoubling our efforts to bring in the brightest graduates, not just in engineering, but across Dyson, here in the UK and overseas.’
