Amazon to Invest Nearly $55 Billion in U.K. Over Three Years

Amazon announced today it will invest 40 billion pounds (~$54.5 billion) in its U.K. operations through 2028, including new fulfillment centers, delivery stations, and upgrades. The push is expected to create thousands of jobs but may coincide with future corporate site reductions via AI-driven efficiencies.
