Fully booked
Amazon has announced it is creating almost a thousand jobs at 2 locations in Scotland.
The e-tailer's 950 new roles will be based in either Dunfermline in Fife or Gourock in Inverclyde and were revealed by Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond during question time in the Scottish Parliament, The Associated Press reported.
A local newspaper, The Dunfermline Press has reported that 750 jobs will be created when Amazon moves into a shiny 1 million square foot warehouse in Fife, that's roughly the size of 14 football pitches.
The new centre is believed to be the UK's largest for the e-tailer, which will use the base to dispatch items across the UK and Europe.
Salmond reportedly said: "Amazon's plan to create a purpose built Fulfilment Centre in Dunfermline will create over 750 jobs and deliver a very significant boost to the local economy."
The remaining 200 jobs will be up for grabs at Amazon's existing centre in Gourock and Amazon also reckons another 1,500 jobs will be created during busy periods.
