Amazon is it is in the process of hiring 10,000 additional staff at its UK packing centres, as the online retailer expects record business this Christmas. Amazon operates eight packing centres in the UK, the newest of which opened in Hemel Hempstead earlier this year. It also expects to open a further three centres in the next two years, creating 2,000 permanent jobs in the process.
“On our busiest shopping day last Christmas, we saw customers order a total of three million items during one 24-hour period at a rate of 35 items every second,” director of operations Catherine McDermott stated.
“We look forward to welcoming a good number of new faces to our centres [and] welcoming back temporary employees who join us every year. We are a company in growth and when we have permanent positions to fill, it’s the top performing temporary employees we look to.”
