Amazon has launched a new, state-of-the-art fulfilment centre at Gateway45, Leeds.
The Amazon Robotics fulfilment centre will employ more than 2,000 people by November this year.
This latest generation fulfilment centre utilises advanced technology across three floors of Amazon Robotics to stow, pick and ship customer orders.
The building is located in close proximity to an Amazon delivery station and an Amazon Robotics sortation centre, and less than ten miles from the Wakefield fulfilment centre which started operations in October 2022.
James Mason, West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, said: “This further, significant investment from Amazon is a confirmation of our strategic location for the logistics industry as a whole, and a ringing endorsement for the strength and skillset of the workforce in our region.
“We at the Chamber welcome the job creation, a significant boost for the region’s economy.”
