Amazon is continuing its rapid expansion in the UK with plans to hire 1,500 apprentices after growing its British headcount by almost 50% last year.

Amazon’s 1,500 new UK apprentices will receive in-house training across departments including publishing, retailing and marketing. Country Manager John Boumphrey said the programme would “help even more people get the skills that are in demand in today’s labour market.”
