An economic impact report released by Amazon says the company has invested more than £5 billion across the whole of the West Midlands since 2010.The figures are taken from the latest Amazon Economic Impact Hub, which details the investments made by Amazon across the UK over the past 14 years.
The 2024 report features data from Amazon on the number of jobs it has created regionally and the level of the company’s economic activity supported by its investments. “We’re passionate about supporting the regional economy and the wider West Midlands community through investments, job creation, charity donations and volunteering," said Paul Roberts, General Manager at Amazon's Fulfilment Centre in Sutton Coldfield.
“While we continue to invest in the regional economy, we’re also stepping up our support of community organisations. We’re excited to continue supporting good causes over the coming months while we deliver for customers, sellers and communities.”
