Prime Time For Swansea Team’s Celebrations

A series of events, fun and games took place at the Amazon fulfilment centre in Swansea as employees celebrated Prime Day.

Some of the week-long activities at the fulfilment centre included giveaways, a summer fun quiz, and design an Amazon box-person competition. The events were organised by Amazon in Swansea to say thank you to the team for the work they do delivering for customers around the UK.

Prime Day is one of Amazon’s biggest annual sales events, and this year some of the bestselling items purchased by customers in the UK included Hardware, Spirits, Skin Care and Devices.

One of the Swansea Amazon employees who enjoyed the Prime Day fun was Lauren Howarth. She said: “We always have so much fun on Prime Day and this year’s celebrations have been our best yet. It’s great that we can all get together as a team and celebrate Prime Day.”

Amazon Swansea General Manager, Christopher Law, added: “Prime Day is a real highlight in the calendars of our customers and team members, and we’ve enjoyed lots of celebrations in Swansea. I’ve enjoyed seeing all the great things happening across our fulfilment centre and I’m looking forward to more fun events that will be taking place here over the coming weeks and months.”
