£40 billion. That’s Amazon’s planned investment in the UK between 2025 and 2027, the largest in the company’s history outside the United States. 

The investment includes four new major operational sites, the expansion of its London office campus, data centres, studios, and expansion across a network of more than 100 sites in every region of the UK.

One year in, more than £15 billion has already been delivered. From a new fulfilment centre in Hull creating 2,000 jobs, to more than £1 billion invested in Northamptonshire alone supporting 4,000 roles.

Amazon is also investing £8 billion in UK data centre infrastructure between 2024 and 2028, supporting the government's ambition to grow the UK's AI compute capacity and contributing an estimated £14 billion to GDP.

Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than £96 billion in its UK operations.

Amazon is one of the UK’s top 10 private sector employers, with more than 75,000 permanent employees across more than 100 sites in every region of the country. 

Pay for operational roles starts at a minimum of £31,408, and in some locations, £33,488. Since 2022, minimum starting pay has risen by 44%. Every employee has access to private medical insurance and a pension from day one.

Last year, nearly half of Amazon’s entry-level hires were previously unemployed or came straight from education. These are roles of all kinds, at all levels, from warehouse associates and delivery drivers to robotics technicians, safety engineers, and data scientists. 

Amazon recently launched the Amazon Youth Promise, a package of support to help young people from areas with the least opportunities into work.

Career Choice prepays up to £3,000 a year in tuition for eligible employees to gain nationally recognised qualifications, delivered flexibly around shift patterns through partnerships with more than 90 educational institutions across Europe.

More than 30,000 UK employees have taken part so far, and Amazon has committed $1 billion globally to Career Choice, with plans to double UK participation by 2030.

As principal partner of The Multibank, Amazon helps get surplus products from businesses to families in need through a nationwide network of charities and community organisations.

Every year, Amazon donates millions of surplus items to The Multibank, from nappies and school uniforms to sports kit, which local charities and community organisations distribute directly to families who need them. Amazon also runs regular 'You Buy. We Donate' campaigns on amazon.co.uk, matching customer purchases with additional donations at no extra cost.
