Holiday season celebrations take place at Amazon in Dunfermline

A visit from Santa and his reindeer, cookie cutting with Mrs Claus and a visit from the local theatre for the associates family and friends are just some of the activities taking place at the Dunfermline fulfilment centre to celebrate the work that the Amazon team is doing to deliver for customers this Christmas.

Speaking on the festivities, Jamie Strain, General Manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, said: “The team here packs, picks and ships thousands of parcels for customers up and down the country throughout December. It’s an exciting time on site as we work together to make our processes run smoothly, safely and efficiently to deliver gifts and essentials during the festive season.

“Our month of celebrations allows us to share festive cheer and fun every day when we come into work. It’s a special time for me as the site’s General Manager and I look forward to it every year.”

Megan Wright took part in the celebrations on site. She said: “The end of the year is always an exciting time at Amazon in Dunfermline. And when we kickstart party season, you never know what you’ll be met with on-site every day when it comes to competitions, games and activities to get involved in. The day goes in so quickly when there’s so much positivity around!”

Over 75,000 permanent Amazon employees across the UK are being boosted by the efforts of more than 15,000 seasonal workers this Christmas, spread throughout the company’s logistics network.
