More than 60 jobs are to be created after a global delivery company announced it will be coming to the North-east.
Amazon is opening a delivery station in the Badentoy area of Portlethen and will work with independent companies to deliver orders.
The online giant has said more than 10 people will be employed by Amazon at the new site when it opens in September.
The company will use five independent delivery companies, who are hiring more than 50 drivers, to transport parcels around the Aberdeen area.
Launched in 2012, Amazon Logistics works with independent local, regional and national delivery companies across the UK to deliver parcels to customers every day.
Jamie Stephenson, UK director for Amazon Logistics, said: “Amazon Logistics adds capacity and flexibility to Amazon’s delivery network, enabling us to meet the delivery needs of customers.
“Amazon Logistics is also helping independent local delivery companies to grow their businesses by providing state-of-the-art technology to deliver Amazon orders.”
