All in all, it’s been a pretty good year for Dyson. They are celebrating their 21st birthday and have talked about a massive £250m expansion that would make the Wiltshire research and development centre double its current size.

After selling millions of his towel-less dryers, bladeless fans and bagless vacuum cleaners, Sir James Dryson has developed a new device that warms rooms. Sir James’ new product, called the Dyson Hot, uses a technology first developed for the Air Multiplier to generate air flow without moving parts. The Dyson Hot is a mile away from the conventional fan heaters that...

The device fires a buoyancy aid up to 150 metres in to the sea and could potentially save thousands of lives every year in the UK and abroad. The winning design was chosen from a shortlist of 15 and was hotly...
