Amazon to shut first UK warehouse, 590 jobs at risk
Amazon will close its Marston Gate warehouse, ending almost 30 years of operations and risking 590 UK jobs.
On 15 January 2026 Amazon announced a consultation to shut its Marston Gate fulfilment centre in Milton Keynes, its first UK warehouse that has been operating for nearly 30 years. The move will close a site that employed 590 staff locally, potentially redistributing roles across the company’s other UK logistics hubs. Management has cited shifting demand and the need to streamline operations as the drivers behind the decision. Employees and local authorities have called for a transparent transition plan, noting potential impacts on the regional supply chain network. The company invited interested parties to submit objections by 25 February 2026 during the consultation period.
