Leon Jabachjabicz,

I realise this, the global manufacturing sector being one I operate in, but the bulk of Triumph machines ARE made in Hinckley wheras ALL of Dyson machines are made in Malaysia.
When Dyson **** his Malmesbury manufacturing plant and shipped production abroad he cited both labour cost and the fact that the majority of their component suppliers were based locally.

Thankfully this is a trend that is now in rapid reverse, on shoring and reshoring, i.e bringing manufacturing back from over seas to UK plants, is now a significant factor for companies both large and small.
