Dyson Limited is a privately held technology company founded by Sir James Dyson in 1991. It designs and manufactures household appliances and technology, best known for its vacuum cleaners, hair-care products, and air-treatment machines. The company remains family-owned, held by James Dyson and his family, and is not publicly listed.
Dyson moved its global headquarters to Singapore, completing the shift in 2022 into the restored St James Power Station near HarbourFront. Singapore serves as the base for research, engineering, commercial, advanced manufacturing, and supply chain operations. More than 1,400 people work for Dyson in Singapore, including around 560 engineers and scientists, alongside a Singapore Science Park testing site and a plant producing the company's digital motors.
Sir James Dyson is the founder and chairman, and Hanno Kirner became Chief Executive Officer in February 2024, succeeding Roland Krueger, who moved to a board role at Dyson Holdings. For the 2024 financial year Dyson reported revenue of GBP 6.6 billion and profit before tax of GBP 561 million, a decline from 2023 despite record product volumes. As a private company Dyson has no market capitalisation, and it does not separately disclose Singapore-only revenue.

Practice real Dyson questions and get instant feedback before the day.
Q: How would you sell the benefits of a Dyson product to a customer who asked for a cheaper alternative?
A: Acknowledge the budget concern, then reframe the choice around value over time: build quality, performance, warranty, and running cost rather than sticker price. Match one or two specific features to what the customer actually needs.
Q: Which of our machines interests you the most and why?
A: Pick one product you genuinely find interesting and explain the engineering or design detail that drew you in, then tie it to how you would talk about it with a customer. Honesty and specifics matter more than picking the flagship.
Q: If hired, what would be your biggest challenge when demonstrating new products to customers?
A: Name an honest, learnable challenge, such as memorising technical details across a wide range quickly, and explain the plan you would use to get up to speed. Avoid claiming you have no weaknesses.
Q: Describe a time when you had to deal with an unhappy customer.
A: Use a short situation, task, action, result structure from your own experience. Focus on how you stayed calm, listened, took ownership, and reached a resolution the customer accepted.
