Online retail giant Amazon has confirmed it is opening a state-of-the-art fulfilment centre using robotics technology in Birmingham - bringing 1,300 new jobs to the region.
The facility, on the new Peddimore estate south east of Sutton Coldfield, is expected to be up and running within the next three years.
Amazon was rumoured to be eyeing the industrial park two years ago and consent was granted in August 2021 for a 2.3 million sq ft warehouse with almost 800 parking spaces but nothing has ever been officially announced by the US giant until now.
