HOW do you fancy taking a tour of Amazon Dunfermline from the comfort of your own home?

Amazon is launching live, 'virtual' showings of its fulfilment centres in the UK with the help of experienced tour guides.

If you have ever wondered how your Amazon order reaches your home, you can register for a live, 'virtual' tour of the Dunfermline site free of charge.

You also have the opportunity to make your tour unique by asking questions and interacting live with the tour guides during the one-hour session.

The virtual tours replace in-person tours which were paused at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Neil Travis, Amazon UK regional director, said: “We paused public tours of our fulfilment centres when the pandemic struck but the demand for the tours is still there so I am delighted to announce we came up with this 'virtual' solution.

"Now, people from right across the UK – in fact from around the world – can sign up for a live 'virtual' tour and see behind the scenes at Amazon from the comfort of their own sofa.

“In 2019, the last full year of hosting in-person public tours at our UK fulfilment centres, we welcomed more than 55,000 guests curious to see what goes on behind the scenes and the safe, modern work environment we provide," added Neil.

"We’ve hosted members of MENSA, the armed forces, logistics professionals and the Scouting organisation.

“We’ve also been used as a training area for special assistance dogs and one guest came from as far as the Philippines to look at a number of our fulfilment centres.

"We’ve even seen someone mark their wedding anniversary with a tour – but as fascinating as the tours are, I’m not sure they’re the perfect anniversary gift for every couple!”

After registering, guests will be sent a link which allows them to take the tour via a PC, tablet or smartphone.
