Online giant Amazon is to create 7,000 new jobs in the coming months at its warehouses and other sites across the UK.

The company has already taken on 3,000 new employees this year, so by the end of 2020 it will have recruited 10,000 extra staff in this country.

The increase will take the company’s total permanent UK workforce to more than 40,000.

The new jobs will be created at Amazon’s warehouses, sorting centres and delivery sites as well as in its offices.
