Amazon is to employ 19,000 people in seasonal roles within its fulfilment and customer service centres over this year's busy Christmas period.
The online retailer operates eight UK fulfilment centres in Doncaster, Dunfermline, Gourock, Hemel Hempstead, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Rugeley and Swansea Bay.
John Tagawa, Amazon’s vice president of UK operations, said: “We are 100% focused on providing an exceptional customer experience and to ensure that we maintain this high level of service during the Christmas period, thousands of seasonal associates will join our teams across the UK.”
Tagawa added: “As we continue to expand our operations in the UK, we are confident that hundreds of people who join us this Christmas in a seasonal role will have the opportunity to stay on with us on a permanent basis.”
