Amazon To Create 300 Jobs In Doncaster

Amazon are to open a second fulfilment centre in Doncaster in a move that will create a further 300 full or part time jobs in the South Yorkshire town over the next three years.

The new fulfilment centre will be located in close proximity to their existing Doncaster facility at Balby Carr Bank, which opened five years ago. The Water Vole Way fulfilment centre is expected to open later this year and some of the Doncaster jobs at Amazon will be filled before the end of 2015.

The 300 new Doncaster jobs follow just a few months after Amazon announced 500 extra jobs in Dunstable. Once the new Doncaster and Dunstable jobs just are filled, Amazon will employ around 7,800 permanent staff across their 10 fulfilment centres, the other distribution facilities being in Hemel Hempstead, Marston Gate, Peterborough, Rugeley, Dunfermline, Gourock and Swansea.

Promising even more jobs for the future, the Vice President of Operations for Amazon UK, John Tagawa, said: “Our existing Doncaster team has done an exceptional job of delivering a first rate level of service for our customers and we are delighted to open another site which will further draw upon the strong pool of talent in the area. We will continue to create new sites, more jobs and provide a wide range of benefits for our employees.”

Ros Jones, Doncaster’s Mayor, welcomed the Amazon announcement, saying: “This excellent news emphasises that Doncaster is open for business, and I am delighted that so many jobs have been created. Amazon’s decision to open this centre in Doncaster shows our strength as a logistics hub, and emphasises how much our economy is growing. Our Business Doncaster team has worked closely with Amazon and will continue to do so in the future.”
