Online retail giant Amazon has revealed plans to close its site in Rugeley as it announces when its huge new £500 million fulfilment centre in north Birmingham will open for business.
The company said operations would commence in October and it had started the process of recruiting to fill around 400 new roles.
It comes as it reveals the 12-year-old centre in Rugeley has been earmarked for closure. The company stressed all 1,000 employees would be offered jobs at the new plant on the Peddimore estate, south east of Sutton Coldfield, or at other Amazon sites.
