  • Dyson paid £750 million to family-owned Weybourne Holdings in 2025.

  • Dyson cut hundreds of jobs, including about one-third of its UK workforce.

Dyson paid £750 million to Singapore-based Weybourne Holdings in 2025, up from £200 million a year earlier, despite a tariff-related decline in sales and pre-tax profit. Dyson said revenue fell from £6.57 billion to £6.13 billion, while pre-tax profit dropped from £561 million to £511 million. The company said US tariffs reduced sales by £440 million, although EBITDA increased 18% and operating profit rose 15%. Weybourne, owned by the Dyson family, owns 100% of Dyson and manages investments including Sir James Dyson’s farming initiatives. Dyson cut hundreds of jobs, including about one-third of its UK workforce, and has faced production problems with its £420 CameraJet toothbrush. Sir James Dyson is valued at £12 billion by the Sunday Times Rich List and moved Dyson’s registered corporate headquarters to Singapore in 2019.
