Amazon to shut down three UK warehouses
By MYBRANDBOOK
Amazon has confirmed that it is planning to close three U.K. warehouses, where a combined 1,200 people are employed. The company may shut down the sites at Hemel Hempstead, Doncaster and Gourock.
The decision is a part of an evaluation of the company’s network to make sure it fits the business needs and to improve the experience of its employees and customers. It is said that all the workers would be offered new roles elsewhere, without specifying the location of the opportunities planned for the 300 staff at Gourock in western Scotland.
A company spokesperson said, “All employees affected by site closure consultations will be offered the opportunity to transfer to other facilities, and we remain committed to our customers, employees, and communities across the UK.” The company plans to open two new fulfilment centers in the U.K. over the next three years, in Peddimore and Stockton-on-Tees, adding 2,500 jobs.
The spokesperson added that the U.K. site closures were not part of the 18,000 job cuts that the company announced last week. Amazon employs a total 75,000 people in the U.K., and is attempting to scale back some of the expansion it undertook during the Covid-19 period to prepare for a widely-forecast economic downturn in 2023.
