WATCH: Why Amazon's 250 extra staff have an 'obsession' to ensure your Christmas presents find their way home
More than 250 staff have been taken on at Amazon’s Havant base to cope with the rush of Christmas packages.
Delivery Station Manager Louise Lock said the operation at the huge site in New Lane is now in ‘peak mode’ with one united aim - to have the deluge of packages which arrive each day quickly and safely through the system and on their way to doorsteps.
‘Our team is amazing, well-trained, and our focus is getting the parcels to the customer on time,’ added Louise.
“We've hired from the local community over 250 extra staff and we will be getting busier right up until Christmas Eve - so every minute counts.
“Our end goal is our customer. Everything is about our customer and our customer obsession to deliver within the timeframe we promised, especially at Christmas time, where people are buying gifts or things for their Christmas dinners and their home to get ready for Christmas.”
