“Amazon is committed to strengthening the regional economy and supporting the broader Welsh community through strategic investments, employment creation, charitable contributions and community engagement initiatives,” said David Marcok, from Amazon in Swansea.
“As we maintain our commitment to regional economic development, we're enhancing our partnerships with community organisations throughout Swansea. In 2025 so far, our team has collaborated with many organisations including Save the Children and Wales Air Ambulance through volunteer engagement, product contributions and direct financial assistance. We look forward to expanding our community support initiatives in the months ahead as we continue serving customers, sellers and communities.”
Amazon recently announced plans to invest £40 billion in the UK over the next three years (2025-2027). This investment includes building four new fulfilment centres and new delivery stations nationwide, as well as upgrades and expansions to its existing network of over 100 operations buildings across the country.
The investment will create thousands of new permanent, full-time jobs in the UK, with the vast majority outside of London and the South East.
