Daventry team primed and ready to celebrate

Some of the fun and games organised for employees at the fulfilment centre included an ice-cream van, DJ, ring toss game and dress up days. The events were organised by Amazon in Daventry to say thank you to the team for the work they do delivering for customers around the UK.

Dipesh Thapa, a team member from Amazon in Daventry who took part in the Prime Day fun, commented on the week, saying: “We had a great time celebrating together during Prime Day. We appreciated the chance to have fun and bond as a team as we prepared for a busy, rewarding week.”

Amazon Daventry Site Leader, Josh Vause, added: “Prime Day is an exciting time for customers and colleagues alike, so it’s important we set time aside to mark the occasion. Our week of fun provided us with an opportunity to celebrate together while delivering for our customers.”
