Home appliances maker Dyson Ltd. has recruited its second Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. executive in a year, making it the latest hire to fuel speculation that the company is building an electric vehicle.
After 22 years at the firm, the luxury carmaker’s director of purchasing, David Wyer, will become the Malmesbury, England-company’s head of procurement, he announced on LinkedIn this week. Aston Martin’s former product development director Ian Minards made the same move in September last year. Aston Martin declined to comment.
