Amazon completes major expansion at Coalville warehouse
Amazon has completed a major expansion at one of its Midlands fulfilment centres.
The global retail and tech giant has spent a year expanding capacity at its Coalville site in north west Leicestershire, which has increased the capacity of the site by a third without increasing the one million sq ft footprint of the building.
A four-storey tower has been built inside the fulfilment centre, increasing floor space and also enabling the 1,000 or so workers there to manage a greater variety of products. Amazon said no new jobs will be created as a result.
The Coalville centre, which opened in October 2016, focuses on bigger items sold through Amazon ranging from bulk pet food to large screen TV
