THE Amazon team in Warrington welcomed pupils from Barrow Hall Primary School, Great Sankey, on site for a behind-the-scenes tour to learn what happens when you click “buy” on an item.
Nearly 100 pupils visited the 400,00 sq ft fulfilment centre and were taken on a tour of the facility to learn more about Amazon. During the tour, the pupils saw how Amazon stores, picks and packs products and ships customer orders from the Warrington building.
Christian Stewart, general manager of Amazon in Warrington, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome the children of Barrow Hall Primary School to our site. It was great to see the pupils’ curiosity and answer their questions as we showed them what goes on behind the scenes at Amazon after people hit “buy” on an item.”
Hasan, one of the pupils, said: “It was really cool to visit Amazon and see all the machines they use to package our stuff. I liked the robots the most.”
Mr Shaw, a teacher at the school, added: “We want to extend our thanks to Christian and the Amazon team in Warrington for welcoming our pupils to the fulfilment centre – 90 excited kids over multiple sessions is no easy feat! The children had a great time learning about how Amazon works, and the team was very friendly, encouraging the kids to ask questions as we went along. Experiences like this, outside of the classroom, are crucial for introducing children to new learning environments to foster their imaginations, and we are grateful to have had this opportunity.”
