Last week local MP Andrew Mitchell had an eye-opening visit to Sutton Coldfield’s remarkable Amazon Fulfilment Centre, code-named EMA4, which is now running at almost 100% capacity. 

Andrew met with Paul Roberts, the General Manager of EMA4, and Neil Travis, the Regional Director at Amazon.

He said:

“I was interested to learn about the Amazon Innovation Accelerator, a small business training programme focusing on technology and innovation.

“It was fascinating to see how this highly automated site, which now employs 2500 people, responds to the round-the-clock demands of Amazon’s customers.”
