Online retail behemoth preparing to open its last-mile distribution centre at Victoria International Airport, likely in early October. Delivery contractor aims to recruit Ukrainian refugees as couriers.
Amazon-branded delivery vans will soon be seen everywhere around the capital region as the online retail behemoth prepares to open its last-mile distribution centre at Victoria International Airport.
