Free public tours are now available at the Amazon fulfilment centre in Kegworth giving visitors the opportunity to see first-hand how the company delivers for its customers.
The Kegworth fulfilment centre, which opened in 2019, spans roughly the size of 18 football pitches at 465,000 sq ft, and employs more than 2,400 people from across the East Midlands.
Tours are available to book for individuals and groups, offering visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how Amazon receives, stores and processes customer orders.
Guests will learn about the advanced technology working alongside employees and see the journey an order takes from the moment a customer clicks “buy” to when it arrives at their door.
Cristina Furnea, Amazon tour leader at Kegworth, said:
“We’re excited to welcome the public into our Kegworth fulfilment centre. Our tours offer a fascinating glimpse into the technology and people that work together to deliver millions of packages to customers across the UK. Whether you’re interested in robotics, logistics, considering a career with us, or simply curious about what happens after you place an order online, I’d encourage everyone to book a free tour. It’s a brilliant opportunity to see the scale of our operations and meet the Kegworth team who make it all happen.”
Gary Norton, General Manager at Amazon in Kegworth, added:
“At Amazon, we’re proud to be part of the Kegworth community, and opening our doors for public tours is a fantastic way to showcase the innovation and teamwork happening inside our fulfilment centre. We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors and showing them how we combine advanced technology with the skills of our talented team to deliver for customers every day.”
