THE retailing giant Amazon has officially started its recruitment drive for workers at its fourth warehouse in the North East.
More than 1,300 jobs are set to be created once Amazon's new Fulfilment Centre in Wynyard, near Stockton opens later this year.
The Northern Echo first revealed the retailer would be opening the site towards the end of last year as bosses said they are "excited" about their latest project.

In recent months, contractors have been on the site near the A19 as the site was recently pictured with its cladding installed.
