Inside Amazon's huge new £500 million warehouse in Northampton as customer deliveries begin

Customer deliveries have begun from Amazon’s new £500 million fulfilment centre in Northampton, with the company set to create more than 2,000 jobs at the site by December 2026.

The 550,000-square-foot warehouse at SEGRO Park is now operational, with hundreds of employees already working at the facility picking, packing and shipping customer orders.

The building stores tens of millions of items across three floors of Amazon robotics, where thousands of Hercules robots retrieve products and bring them directly to employees.

The start of deliveries from the Northampton site comes as Amazon announced plans to open another £500 million facility in Kettering later this year. The 900,000-square-foot site is expected to create more than 2,000 jobs and will be used to sort and route goods across the country.

Together, the two developments represent £1 billion of investment in Northamptonshire this year and are expected to create more than 4,000 jobs across the county.

Gareth Davies, Amazon regional director, said: “As someone from Northampton, I am proud to see this county become one of the most important regions in our UK network, and today's announcement underlines our long-term commitment to the area.

“Our new fulfilment centre is up and running, with cutting-edge robotics, a modern working environment, comprehensive benefits and genuine career development opportunities.”
