Amazon the ever expanding online retailer is expected to unveil further expansion plans for Scotland which will create hundreds of new jobs.
Alex Salmond Scotland’s First Minister will join the firm's vice president of European operations, Allan Lyall, at Edinburgh Castle to announce a ‘significant’ jobs boost. This will come just months after the leading internet company said it would establish around 950 full-time jobs at a new distribution site at two Scottish towns and an extra 1,500 temporary posts during peak periods
.In January this year , Amazon said its new operation centre at Dunfermline, Fife, will create more than 750 jobs and transfer its entire permanent workforce from nearby Glenrothes.An extra 200 jobs were announced for its site in Gourock, which packs and ships items for customers.
This was assisted by £2.5 million in grants from the economic agency Scottish Enterprise.
Mr Lyall at the time said “Our decision to base this major expansion in Scotland, against stiff international competition, is due not only to the excellent local workforce but to the impressive professionalism of Scottish Development International."
