Amazon on a hiring spree for the holidays

With the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales approaching, Amazon Australia has expanded its operations in preparation for the influx of customers. The company has hired an additional 1000 workers.

Amazon Australia is a subsidiary of the US-based e-commerce giant Amazon. It started operating in Australia in December 2017.

For many retailers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the biggest days for shopping.

In addition to the holiday season employees, Amazon has also hired more than 1100 permanent roles this year. These include roles in customer service, fulfilment centre management, and warehouse management.

As part of its expansion, Amazon has increased its storage capacity by 60 per cent. The company now has a total of four fulfilment centers across Australia.

In Australia, Amazon said that during Black Friday, the company typically sold mostly electronics items such as Kindles and Echoes.

They also sell a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

People were also buying cookbooks and do it yourself type books.

Amazon’s Fulfilled centers were fully stocked and were not affected by the global supply chain squeeze.

Black Friday is just around the corner, and while there are plenty of stores ready to stock up on goods, there have been no delays from their sellers.

With the launch of its logistics facilities and last-mile delivery service, Prime Air, Amazon has strengthened its delivery network. It also expanded its reach in three new cities: Newcastle, Gold Coast and Adelaide.

Over the year, the company has expanded its reach by adding over 300 new locations of its Lockers and Counters. It also launched its own alternate pick-up sites at various locations.

Woolworths Announces a new Environmental Initiative

In a move to tackle plastic waste, Woolies has announced that customers will be able to bring their containers to the deli counter.

After a successful trial in a suburb of Sydney, the BYO container program has expanded to all Woolworths stores across Australia.

The initiative, which is being rolled out across the country, allows customers to buy their own reusable food containers at the counters. Trials will also be rolled out in other stores in 2022.

Reusable packaging has become an integral part of our daily routines, with many of us regularly bringing home bags or cups for our morning coffee.

The change could save an average store around 10,000 plastic containers a year.

For safety reasons, bags and boxes of food must have a sealable lid. They should also be clean and in good condition.

The option is also available for all products sold by weight at meat and seafood counters, but not for salads sold by volume.

Trevor Evans, Australia’s Assistant Minister for Waste reduction and environmental management, said that the government’s goal to phase out plastic waste by 2025 is a vital step in achieving environmental success.

According to the Australian Consumers’ Association, more than half of Australians are looking for opportunities to reduce their waste.

In June, Coles Australia launched its own BYO (Bring Your Own) container system in a bid to provide its customers with more choice when it comes to filling their bottles.

Woolworths also has a successful Insurance business, Woolworths Insurance. To save on your insurance policy at Woolworths Online, use a Everyday Insurance Promotion Code.

Craft Beer growing in popularity

lion’s acquisition of Fermentum and Stone & Wood has been approved by the competition regulators due to the concerns of consumers.

The competition watchdog has concluded its review of the proposed acquisition of Australian Financial Group’s assets by Westfield Group.

The ACCC said it would not oppose the acquisition of the company, which also owns a number of beer and cider brands.

The ACCC has ruled that there will be no substantial lessening of competition in the market for alternative beer.

The ACCC was initially worried that the acquisition would lead to the closure of a popular craft brewer, which could threaten the profitability of competing against the two major players in the industry.

The ACCC said that while Lion and Fermentum do not compete closely in terms of price, both companies’ products are generally perceived as being mainstream.

Lion is one of Australia’s biggest beer producers. It makes a variety of mainstream and craft beers.

The regulator also looked into the possibility of allowing independent brewers to sell beer in hospitality venues and liquor stores restricted shelf space.

The ACCC has spoken to a wide range of venues, and found that most of them reserve a few taps for independent brands.

The Competition Commission said that the packaging of beer produced by the major brewers could confuse consumers about the ownership of the company that made the beer.

“Consumers should carefully read the label to make sure that the beer they are buying is made by an independent brewer.
