Celebrations in Swansea for Amazon Prime Day 2024

The team from Amazon’s fulfilment centre in Swansea enjoyed a week-long series of activities to celebrate the return of Prime Day.

Employees were treated to a wheel of fortune, bingo and t-shirt giveaways as they picked, packed and shipped Prime Day products for customers in Swansea and around the UK. The celebrations were organised to say thank you to the team for delivering smiles to customers during the annual event.

Christopher Bailey is the Senior Operations Manager at Amazon in Swansea who took part in the activities on site. He said: “We love Prime Day at Amazon in location. It’s a great day with a lot of buzz and excitement and the events organised to mark the event this year have been fantastic.”

Dan Boulger, Site Leader at Amazon in Swansea, added: “One of the most significant dates in an Amazon team member’s calendar is Prime Day, and there was great excitement on site as we prepared for the big day. I am impressed at how we came together this year to make the event so successful – the celebrations were well-deserved, as they always are.”
