REFERENCING Tony Fox (Warrington Guardian, February 7). So Mr Dyson can’t find skilled engineers and machinists in the UK, really?

When he had them in 2003 it didn’t stop him ending manufacturing in Britain with the loss of 800 skilled jobs. Perhaps for his new electric car manufacturing venture he needs to look harder.

The majority of Formula One teams are based in the UK for a reason, then there are the mainstream car manufacturers.

You accused Cllr Price of failing to say why but yes why would someone who has been so vocal about Britain’s economic potential upon leaving the EU, fail to put his money where his mouth is and is now planning on moving his HQ to Singapore?

The Financial Times had some interesting theories on that, his opinion seemed to change after he lost a long and expensive legal battle with the EU.

Another theory was, this way his company’s financial position at a time of probable falling profitability will be subject to less rigorous financial disclosure.

Of course another main reason which you appear to have rigorously championed, (somewhat bizarrely for someone who appears to be a Brexit supporter), is that by doing this with, as you mentioned the free trade agreement Singapore has recently negotiated with the EU, there will be a direct route into EU markets for Mr Dyson.

Rather than the grandfathering three-way negotiation required to get his products into a much smaller less profitable UK market post Brexit, which at best will be extremely difficult, and if we leave with no deal, probably not even worth contemplating.

The looming trade grandfathering issue is something Brexiteers have either failed to understand, or are being deliberately disingenuous about.

After two years we couldn’t negotiate a decent deal with EU members and yet we are expected to believe the same people can miraculously negotiate trade deals.

I won’t hold my breath.
