'Business as usual' for Amazon as it announces 1,000 new UK jobs

Amazon is to create an extra 1,000 new jobs this year as its UK boss claims it is "business as usual" following Britain's decision to quit the European Union.

Doug Gurr said that the new recruits will be spread across the online giant's corporate offices, fulfilment centres and its research and development wing as the firm continues to expand the rollout of Prime Now, Amazon's ultra-fast delivery service.
