Amazon is planning to add several thousand more staff at its European operations this year as it increases investment in the area.
Some 2,500 new staff could join Amazon’s operations in the UK, taking the total workforce to 14,500. Jobs will be added at the London head office, at three R&D centres and at 10 warehouses.
In Europe, Amazon plans to expand its warehouse network, develop infrastructure for its cloud-computing business and increase R&D.
The company plans to give further details of its plans later on Friday.
