Amazon.com Inc. opened its first corporate office in the U.K. not to be based in the nation’s capital city, instead choosing the northern city of Manchester for a new site.
The company said Thursday it’ll populate the six floors and 90,000 square feet it’s leased in the century-old Hanover Building with 600 new jobs “over time,” including software developers and branding specialists.
