THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS – IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED ONCE RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED

See the magic that happens after you click “buy” on Amazon by joining our tour of Amazon’s fulfilment centre at Manchester’s Airport City.

In the mid-1990s, the Amazon warehouse and its office were one and the same. A handful of employees and one lovable dog shared the Seattle space, along with shelves and shelves of books. Over time, one warehouse became hundreds, and they are now called Amazon fulfilment centres. While they store millions of items and employ hundreds of thousands of people, Amazon fulfilment centres are a far cry from your typical warehouse.

So what’s different?  Well they are charged with fulfilling customer orders. In other words, Amazon warehouses not only store products but also serve as distribution centres where associates pick, pack, and ship orders quickly and efficiently. Amazon robotics, scanning machines, and computer systems in fulfilment centres can track millions of items in a day.

Numbers are limited for this opportunity to see how the wheels turn behind the scenes before your purchases land on your doorstep … so book soon to secure your place.

This is a free event and is open to North Cheshire Chamber members only – booking is essential please.

Please note the date for our March tour has been changed to this new date of Wednesday 20 May 2020.
