Online retailer Amazon has announced plans for further expansion of its UK workforce. It will now open a new distribution centre near Bristol in 2018; a move which will create 1,000 new jobs. This latest announcement is in addition to the company's expansion throughout 2017. The company is seeking to recruit engineers, HR specialists and IT positions ahead of the 2018 opening. The decision to open another distribution centre comes as demand for Amazon's services continues to grow and the extra capacity is required to keep up with the number of orders.
