Amazon is set to create 20 permanent jobs in Redruth following its announcement of a new delivery station in the town.
The online retailer will be working with six local independent companies to collect and deliver parcels at the Parc Erissey Industrial Estate to match the growing customer demand.
Redruth Town mayor Deborah Reeve hailed the town's economy with independent businesses set to employ 80 drivers to carry out operations and deliver to customers throughout Cornwall.
She said: “This is an excellent show of confidence in the Redruth economy. We welcome the investment into our community and the employment opportunities that this will create.”
Kerry-Anne Lawlor, country director for Amazon Logistics said: “We are excited to open a delivery station in Redruth where Amazon’s 20+ years of operational expertise, technology advancements and investment in transportation infrastructure is enabling faster delivery for customers than ever before seven days a week.”
