Задание 7. Прочитайте текст и выберите правильный вариант ответа на вопросы.
James Dyson, millionaire inventor and successful British businessman, has surprised his country by deciding to move production to the Far East.
The 54-year-old design engineer is well-known for his invention of a powerful vacuum cleaner that operates without a bag. Dyson spent 15 years trying to persuade the banks to support his ideas and enable him to set up production of the new vacuum cleaners. Now, after six years in business, his factory in a small town in the west of England produces 8,000 vacuum cleaners a day. Moving the main production facility to Malaysia will result in a loss of 800 jobs. Both the UK government and the unions have expressed their horror at the decision.
The company, which employs 1,800 people in total, said it had decided to move production because of the success of a plant it established in Malaysia two years ago. Labour costs at the Malaysian plant are only £1.50 an hour: in the UK they are £4.10 an hour. But the quality of the Malaysian cleaners is as high as the British-made ones.
A number of other companies have also moved production to lower cost countries in recent months. Many people fear for the future of British manufacturing if this trend continues.
Dyson believes the move will enable the company to cut production costs by 30 percent. He plans to put the savings into research and development in a drive to create new technology products for the future. The R&D department will continue to be based in Britain.
The company achieved sales of £220 million in 2000 and spends around 10 percent of turnover on new product development. Dyson described R&D as the ‘heart and soul’ of the business. He said the decision to cut back the UK workforce was a sad and difficult one.
