New pictures have revealed how Amazon's newest warehouse in the North East is coming along - with the building taking shape at rapid speed.

The brand new 'Fulfilment Centre' off the A19 at the Wynyard Business Park near Stockton appears to be in the final stages of completion.

With the trademark blue outline, white cladding and grey features now added, the mammoth warehouse can be seen for some distance.

Pictures taken by The Northern Echo reveal however, that as of last week, the giant light-up Amazon logos have not yet been added to the four facades.

The site remains a construction site with contractors only permitted onto the perimeter of the warehouse including what will be the car park.

It comes as the online retailer has remained tight-lipped on when first packages will be dispatched from the so-called NCL2 warehouse.

However, it is understood that the site will be up and ready with more than 1,300 permanent roles filled by Christmas.

Reports previously suggested that the main contractors are on schedule to hand over the site to Amazon on September 30.

So far, Amazon has opened warehouses in Darlington, Durham and Gateshead over the last two years, creating thousands of jobs between them.

The Echo earlier this year revealed that the site in Wynyard would become another Amazon site after months of rumour and speculation.

That was after plans were obtained that appeared to confirm work was underway for the retailer on a project titled "Amazon NCL2-Stockton."

Amazon is yet to confirm any further details on the latest warehouse but a spokesperson said: “We are excited about our latest project in Teesside.

"We are in the very early stages of our development and look forward to sharing more information as the project progresses.”
