Dyson has said that it could cut up to 1,000 jobs from its UK workforce, as it looks to partake in a global restructure.

The BBC reported that the firm, which is best known for the invention of the bag-less vacuum cleaner, has said that the move comes as it responds to global markets while ensuring its future.

Dyson is based in Wilshire, with offices in Bristol and London, and employs 3,500 UK employees.

Chief executive officer (CEO) at Dyson, Hanno Kirner, said that the company would support those at risk of redundancy.

The announcement comes after the company cut 900 jobs during the COVID pandemic, as a result of people changing how they bought products.

Kirner added: "We have grown quickly and, like all companies, we review our global structures from time to time to ensure we are prepared for the future.

"As such, we are proposing changes to our organisation, which may result in redundancies."

He added the company operates in "increasingly fierce and competitive global markets" and they need to be "entrepreneurial and agile".

"Decisions which impact close and talented colleagues are always incredibly painful."
