Hundreds of drier opportunities also outlined as last-mile logistics chain covered
Amazon Logistics is to open a new delivery station in Wakefield.
The 22,000 sq m building is expected to be fully operational this autumn and will serve customers in the immediate area as part of the ‘last mile’ provision.
The investment at Silkwood Park will create around 40 permanent jobs, in addition to hundreds of driver opportunities for delivery partners.
Kerry-Anne Lawlor, country director for Amazon Logistics, said: “We are excited to invest in the Wakefield area with a new delivery station that will provide efficient delivery for customers, and create new jobs for the talented workforce.”
Delivery stations power the final element of the order process and help speed up deliveries for customers.
Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighbouring Amazon fulfilment and sorting centres, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."
