The celebration, held on the grounds of the fulfilment centre in Hull featured fun fairs, amusements and food trucks giving employees the chance to unwind and reconnect with colleagues outside of their usual working day. 

Jaswanth Ainala who works at Amazon in Hull was among those enjoying the festivities: “We work hard all year round, so it’s great to take a step back and just have some fun with the team. Bringing the family along made it feel like a proper celebration rather than just another work event. Thank you, Amazon!” 

Michael Shannon, Interim Site Leader at Amazon in Hull, said: “Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and days like this are our way of saying thank you. Watching the team relax and celebrate with their families is one of the highlights of my year, and it’s a fitting send-off into the second half of what’s already been a fantastic year.” 

 The event forms part of a wider programme of employee recognition across Amazon’s UK operations network, as the company marks the midpoint of the year and thanks teams for their continued dedication to customers.
