“ | They were following a long, straight road over a stretch of land that had somehow been hammered flat, with an airstrip on one side and a cluster of four high-tech buildings on the other. The buildings were large, smoked glass and steel, each one joined to the next by a covered walkway. There were two aircraft next to the landing-strip. A helicopter and a small cargo plane. Alex was impressed. The whole complex must have been about five kilometres squared. It was quite an operation. | ” |
—Alex Rider's first glance at Sayle Enterprises |
Sayle Enterprises is a company that appears in the novel Stormbreaker.
About[]
Sayle Enterprises is owned by Herod Sayle, whom it is named after. They are known for manufacturing computer technology in non-sterile environments, allowing them to provide far more affordable technology to their consumers. The company is best known for manufacturing the Stormbreaker computers.
Location[]
The only known location of Sayle Enterprises is a factory and guest houses in Port Tallon, Cornwall, UK. It is located in a high-security complex about five kilometers square built above a disused tin mine.
In the film adaptation of Stormbreaker, however, an additional location to the company was included. The headquarters of the Sayle Enterprises is shown to be a fifty-story Neo-futuristic skyscraper, simply referred to as "Sayle Tower," in downtown London neighboring the Gherkin, where the climax of the film takes place. The tower has a satellite transmitter on its rooftop, which Sayle intended to use as a backup to manually-override and activate the Stormbreakers after his initial plan failed.
