Online retailer Amazon is to open a fulfilment warehouse in Rugby, creating 400 jobs. It has begun recruiting managers and support staff, with factory floor recruitment to begin soon.

Stefano Perego, from Amazon, said he was "delighted to expand our operations in the Midlands".

Mark Pawsey, Conservative MP for Rugby, said: "It's great news. It's another reason why Rugby is a brilliant place for business to locate to. We're at the crossroads of the motorway network where the M1, M6 and A14 join... it's a great location for distribution and that's exactly the business that Amazon's in."
