Amazon Leeds team celebrates success with special event

Hundreds of Amazon employees gathered to mark the successful completion of ‘peak’ - the weeks when customer orders reach their highest levels of the year.

The shopping period sees Amazon welcome thousands of seasonal colleagues across its UK operations network, all working alongside permanent team members to ensure packages arrive on time for customers nationwide. The post-peak celebration has become an annual tradition, giving teams the opportunity to come together and reflect on their collective achievements.

Josh Vause, Site Leader at Amazon in Leeds, said: “This celebration is our way of saying thank you to every single person who played their part in making last year special for our customers.

"It's been fantastic to bring everyone together to celebrate what we've accomplished as a team and I'm excited about what we'll achieve together in 2026.”

 Zanna Morozova, an Amazon employee who attended the celebration, said: “The party was a great way to celebrate everything we accomplished together during our busiest time of year.

"There’s a real sense of camaraderie here, and it's brilliant to work alongside such a dedicated team. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of 2026 brings.”
