Amazon Projects 170 Jobs Per New Facility
Amazon has announced plans to invest £40 billion in the UK over the next three years, creating thousands of new jobs across various regions. The e-commerce giant will build new warehouses in Hull, Northampton, and the East Midlands, with each facility expected to generate 2,000 jobs [1]. Additionally, Amazon will expand its London headquarters, including the construction of two new buildings in the Shoreditch area. The investment also includes the majority of the £8 billion already earmarked for data centers and upgrades to operations, infrastructure, and staff benefits [1].Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the expansion as a "major win" for the UK, highlighting the investment's potential to boost areas outside of London and the southeast of England. The announcement coincides with the publication of the government's "Modern Industrial Strategy," which outlines collaboration between the state and high-growth industries [2].
Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds also expressed optimism about the investment, noting its significance in driving economic growth and job creation. Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, emphasized that the company is committed to bringing innovation and job opportunities to communities across the UK, strengthening the economy and enhancing customer experiences [1].
The investment also includes the renovation of the historic Bray Film Studios, acquired in July 2024, and the production of films and TV series based on the "Warhammer 40,000" universe. This project is set to star Henry Cavill, known for his roles in "Superman" and "The Witcher" [2].
Amazon's UK expansion is part of a broader global strategy, with recent investments in Australia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, focusing on data centers and AI projects. The company's UK operations already employ more than 75,000 people in over 100 sites [1].
