Amazon is to create more than 10,000 jobs in the UK with a new fulfilment centre in Gateshead later this year. The online giant - which has hit record sales in the past year - said the new warehouse will create 1,300 permanent jobs, with just under 9,000 more roles created across the UK over the next 12 months.

The company said it will launch a £10million programme to help employees gain new skills as part of the investment, with 75,000 more roles created in Canada and the USA, too.
