Amazon bosses were unable to confirm that Oxfordshire's warehouse will not be affected by massive job losses across the company.

The global delivery firm announced on Monday that 9,000 job losses were expected, blaming the "uncertain economy in which we reside".

A company spokesperson could not confirm if the staff at the recently refurbished 200,000 sq ft warehouse in Banbury will be affected by the latest cuts.

Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassey, said that the majority of the redundancies will be coming from the Amazon Web Team, the People Experience and Technology Solutions team, advertising and Twitch. 

In a statement, Amazon's head shared further context about the decision: "As part of our annual planning process, leaders across the company work with their teams to decide what investments they want to make for the future, prioritizing what matters most to customers and the long-term health of our businesses.

"For several years leading up to this one, most of our businesses added a significant amount of headcount. This made sense given what was happening in our businesses and the economy as a whole.

"However, given the uncertain economy in which we reside, and the uncertainty that exists in the near future, we have chosen to be more streamlined in our costs and headcount.

"The overriding tenet of our annual planning this year was to be leaner while doing so in a way that enables us to still invest robustly in the key long-term customer experiences that we believe can meaningfully improve customers’ lives and Amazon as a whole."

This will be the second round of Amazon redundancies this year, with the company already removing 18,000 positions in January.

Mr Jassey added: "To those ultimately impacted by these reductions, I want to thank you for the work you have done on behalf of customers and the company.

"It’s never easy to say goodbye to our teammates, and you will be missed.

"To those who will continue with us, I look forward to partnering with you as we make life easier for customers every day and relentlessly inventing to do so."

Amazon also revealed separate plans to shut three UK warehouses and seven delivery stations in January, affecting more than 1,200 further jobs.

The tech giant is among a raft of firms in the sector to cut roles in recent weeks.

Last week, Facebook owner Meta revealed its plans to cut around 10,000 jobs globally, four months after it axed another 11,000.
