The business did add that during the following three years, it intended to open two new centers and create 2,500 jobs.

The three warehouses that are closing are located in the west of Scotland at Gourock, Doncaster, and Hemel Hempstead.

The company stated that employees at the closing sites would have the option to transfer to other Amazon locations.

Additionally, the stations that prepare orders for delivery in Birmingham, Hemel Hempstead, Huntingdon, Horley, and Newcastle will shut down.

The online juggernaut, which debuted in the UK in 1998, grew quickly during the pandemic.

Around 70,000 people are employed by it in the UK as of right now, including 400 in the Doncaster center, 500 at Hemel Hempstead, and 300 at Gourock.

The company runs two other facilities in Doncaster and one in Dunstable, which is roughly 20 minutes’ drive from Hemel Hempstead. According to Amazon, these locations may be able to accommodate workers impacted by the closures.

These will replace existing stations in Portsmouth and Aylesford.

Additionally, stations in Birmingham, Hemel Hempstead, Huntingdon, Horley, and Newcastle that prepare orders for delivery will close.
