James Dyson

James Dyson is the billionaire CEO of vacuum cleaner firm Dyson Ltd.
He is a vocal supporter of a 'hard' Brexit. He is an advisor to Economists for Free Trade, a lobby group pushing for similar.
==Brexit campaigner==
Dyson is a cheerleader for a ‘hard Brexit’. He has said he expects negotiations to fail and the UK to exit Europe without a deal, falling back on WTO rules.
He has enthused about post-Brexit Britain becoming the Singapore of Europe: “Singapore is a great example. It has free trade and high technology… You pay for education according to how wealthy you are. You insure yourself for health. But the maximum tax rate is 22%. Amazing.”
Dyson also warned the Government not to cut farm subsidies after Brexit. As the website WhoOwnsEngland? notes: 
:'Commentators have been quick to point out that Dyson himself is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current system of farm subsidies: last year, his company, Beeswax Farming (Rainbow) Ltd, received £1.8million in payments. Over £1million of that was under the Basic Payment Scheme, which is essentially a subsidy for owning land. It comes with minimal strings attached, and the more land you own, the more you get.Why is James Dyson hoovering up land? WhoOwnsEngland?, 19 Sept 2017
==Career==
In 1978, frustrated at his current vacuum cleaner, Dyson began work on an improved version. After struggling to get his prototype launched in the UK he took it to Japan and began selling the 'G-Force' for $2000. Famous Entrepreneurs James Dyson, accessed 14 April 2015. After returning to the UK and struggling to get any of the big companies to notice him, using the royalties from the G-Force, Dyson decided to set up his own company - Dyson Ltd in 1993.

James Fisher and Sons

James Fisher and Sons, a shipowning, operating and managing company and port operator, gave £1,500 to the Labour Party in 1998 (they also gave £1,500 to the Tories). They manage the Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd (PNTL) fleet. PNTL is a subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels plc's Sellafield Ltd and own 6 purpose-built irradiated fuel carrier ships. The PNTL ships transport nuclear waste and fuel around Europe and Japan.
Two armed freighters from their PNTL fleet, the Pacific Pintail and the Pacific Teal, carried MOX re-processed nuclear fuel to Japan in October 1999 (both ships are armed with three 30mm cannons and carry 7 tonnes of high-explosive ammunition along with their quarter of a tonne loads of plutonium). The shipment carried by the Pacific Pintail had been re-processed at BNFL's new £300 million MOX plant at Sellafield. After delivery it was discovered that vital quality-control and safety data for the MOX fuel had been falsified during production by BNFL. In July 2000 the Government agreed to take back the flawed nuclear fuel at a cost of tens of millions of pounds (of taxpayers money), to keep the Japanese nuclear industry happy - continued sales of the fuel to Japan are vital to the commercial viability of the MOX plant at Sellafield.
James Fisher and Sons also manage a warehousing complex at RAF Sealand and have shipping contracts with oil companies BP, Esso, Texaco, Philips, Elf, Carless, Shell, Mobil and Statoil. They charter a cable-laying ship to Cable and Wireless and own an underwater excavating company called Seafloor Dynamex. They also own and operate more than 20 tankers from Liverpool and Gibraltar.
Their former Executive Chairman, David Cobb, got a CBE in June 1999. He was paid £133,000 in 1998, plus a £105,000 bonus (he was paid £247,000 in 1997). He was elected President of the Chamber of Shipping in 1998.
In August 1999, John Prescott announced a tax-break for the shipping industry which removed corporation tax on British-flagged ships. It was described bt Tory stalwart Lord Sterling as the 'biggest boost to our shipping industry in 20 years'
