When Amazon came to town: Swindon feels strain as new depot sucks up jobs. Firm has hired 2,000 staff in a matter of months in Wiltshire town, with ripple effect on other businesses.
When Amazon came to town: Amazon's automated warehouse in Swindon, UK. Swindon feels strain as new depot sucks up jobs. Firm has hired 2,000 staff in a matter of months in Wiltshire town, with ripple effect on other businesses.
Amazon advertises new roles as ‘a job for life, not just for Christmas’.
On an industrial estate outside Swindon, it’s the busiest time of year at Amazon’s newest warehouse in Britain. Black boxes rattle along miles of conveyor belt, carrying everything from toys to painkillers amid a cacophony of alarms and the faint hum of Christmas songs.
The vast site is a stark reminder of Amazon’s might. As well as upending consumer habits and standing accused of gaining an unfair advantage by paying too little in tax and hollowing out high streets, the company is creating huge distortions in the jobs market. The new depot has created its own gravitational force sucking staff away from other businesses such as care homes.
The latest outpost of Jeff Bezos’s empire also illustrates the shifting economic sands in the western world. In July, the nearby Honda car factory closed – a decision blamed partly on Brexit – with the loss of about 3,000 direct jobs plus thousands more in the supply chain, many of which were high-paying, skilled roles.

As well as upending consumer habits and standing accused of gaining an unfair advantage by paying too little in tax and hollowing out high streets, the company is creating huge distortions in the jobs market.

When Amazon came to town: Amazon's automated warehouse in Swindon, UK. Swindon feels strain as new depot sucks up jobs. Firm has hired 2,000 staff in a matter of months in Wiltshire town, with ripple effect on other businesses.
Amazon advertises new roles as ‘a job for life, not just for Christmas’.
On an industrial estate outside Swindon, it’s the busiest time of year at Amazon’s newest warehouse in Britain. Black boxes rattle along miles of conveyor belt, carrying everything from toys to painkillers amid a cacophony of alarms and the faint hum of Christmas songs.
The vast site is a stark reminder of Amazon’s might. As well as upending consumer habits and standing accused of gaining an unfair advantage by paying too little in tax and hollowing out high streets, the company is creating huge distortions in the jobs market. The new depot has created its own gravitational force sucking staff away from other businesses such as care homes.
The latest outpost of Jeff Bezos’s empire also illustrates the shifting economic sands in the western world. In July, the nearby Honda car factory closed – a decision blamed partly on Brexit – with the loss of about 3,000 direct jobs plus thousands more in the supply chain, many of which were high-paying, skilled roles.
