The giant fulfilment centres will be in Hull, Northampton and two in the East Midlands.

Other schemes will include opening two new buildings at Amazon’s corporate HQ in East London and the redevelopment of the historic Bray Film Studios in Berkshire.

The investment also includes part of the £8bn previously announced in September 2024 for building, operating, and maintaining data centres in the UK.

Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, said: “When Amazon invests, it’s not only in London and the South East – we’re bringing innovation and job creation to communities throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, strengthening the UK’s economy and delivering better experiences for customers wherever they live.”
