Amazon has said it plans to shut three UK warehouses in a move which will impact 1,200 jobs. It comes after the online retail giant last week said it is cutting more than 18,000 jobs worldwide in the largest layoffs programme in its history as part of plans to slash costs.
Sites in Hemel Hempstead, Doncaster and Gourock, in the west of Scotland, have been proposed for closure.
It is understood that all workers at the sites will be offered roles at other Amazon locations.
