Amazon set to create more Leicestershire jobs
Online retail giant Amazon has said it will create 1,000 more jobs across the UK – including more at its Bardon, Leicestershire site.
The news comes on top of the 2,000 new jobs the company said it would be creating earlier this year at its new £1.3m sq ft Ellistown depot.
The latest announcement says the jobs will be spread across London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester and Leicestershire.
The newly created jobs will bring the total number of full time permanent UK employees at Amazon to more than 15,500 by the end of this year.
“We are proud to offer great jobs for people who already have the skills we’re looking for and to help develop people who want to add new skills through our innovative programs like Career Choice,” said Roy Perticucci, vice president, Amazon EU Operations.
“We’re planning to add thousands of new jobs in all areas across our European Fulfilment Network in 2016 as we ramp up to meet increased demand from customers and invent in new areas.”
