Didn't Dyson move all his manufacturing to Singapore at the same time as loudly espousing Brexit?

Waiting for the v2 of the ventilator that has a ball attached, and costs an extra £100.

Whatever his views on Brexit (and I am Remainer), I think credit should be given to Dyson and his team - they are going to be manufactured in the UK and he is paying with his own money for 4000 of these ventilators to be donated to other countries:

Wow, I'm sure the millions of dollars he's gonna make from the 10k ventilators has no impact on his motivation.

He moved his head office to Singapore around the time he was pushing the UK to leave the EU. Manufacturing had already been moved offshore years before that - Malaysia as I recall, though probably elsewhere too.
