Internet retailer Amazon.com, famous for its online bookshop, has promised to create 450 new jobs in Cork in a call centre to support its websites for the French, British and German markets. The centre will be located at the Cork Airport Business Park and Amazon will receive grant assistance from the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) Ireland to establish the business. The initiative is Amazon's second Irish development. The company, which ranks among the world's largest online retailers, opened a systems and network unit at the Digital Hub centre in Dublin last year.
