Globally renowned and one of the most highly successful business brands in the world – Amazon is going ahead with greater pace. Despite global slowdown, it is planning to expand its business operations to touch newer avenues of growth and enhance its brand authority in the market. As per the statement released by the company, it has planned to create 4,000 new permanent jobs in Britain this year. It will increase its total headcount in the region to a whopping 75,000.

In the last three years, Amazon has created 40,000 new permanent jobs, invested ‘billions of pounds’, and also helped in creating more than 410, 000 indirect jobs to support the local economy and people.
