Pictures of Dyson’s plush new £330million global headquarters in Singapore have been revealed – as the billionaire Brexit-backing tycoon faces a growing backlash over the move out of Britain. 

Sir James Dyson, 71, sparked widespread fury after announcing he is shifting his head office out of the UK post Brexit – despite being one of the leading supporters of the campaign to quit Brussels.

Ministers lashed the move saying it looked ‘terrible’ while MPs queued up to accuse the vacuum cleaner tycoon, who owns a home in Singapore, of ‘rank hypocrisy’ and said he was taking advantage of EU trade deals.

And the news was followed today by the boss of Airbus branding the Brexit chaos ‘disgraceful’ and Eurosceptic hardliners ‘mad’ as he warned the firm, which employs 14,000 people in Britain, could leave the UK.

MailOnline can reveal the luxury office in Singapore where Sir James – who is worth £9.5billion and owns homes around the world – will shift his top executives to. 

Sir James has a property portfolio which includes a £20m London town house, a £3m chateau in Provence with its own vineyard, a £50million penthouse apartment in New York, and a 51-bedroom stately home in Gloucestershire boasting orangeries, lakes and a 300-acre park designed by Capability Brown.
