THE work on Malmesbury’s roads to improve traffic flow ahead of the future expansion of Dyson are now complete.

New roundabouts funded by The Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP), Wiltshire Council, and Dyson, have been put in place near the site on Tetbury Hill.

The improvements will help enable the expansion of Dyson's research and development activities in Malmesbury, which it is hoped will boost employment in the town.

The new expansion is part of Dyson's goal to double its research and development footprint.

Fleur de Rhe-Philipe, Wiltshire Council cabinet member with responsibility for economic development, skills, strategic transport and strategic property, said: “These improvements can support Dyson’s future plans for a new research and development centre and technology campus, helping to create 3,000 high value jobs.

“Dyson is of significant importance to Wiltshire as a major employer, and this work will assist their continued growth”.

John Shipsey, chief financial officer for Dyson, said: “Dyson technology is developed in Malmesbury and exported around the globe - we have grown here and are committed to the area.

“Wiltshire Council and SWLEP have offered invaluable support. The new campus will enable us to keep making the high performing, intelligent technology that people want to use – wherever they are in the world.”
