AWS plans to invest £8 billion in the UK, supporting 14,000 jobs annually in local businesses

AWS plans to invest £8 billion in the UK, supporting 14,000 jobs annually in local businesses

AWS’s planned investments are estimated to contribute £14 billion to the UK’s total GDP over the next five years. Amazon Web Services (AWS) plans to invest £8 billion over the next five years (2024-2028) building, operating, and maintaining data centres in the UK. This investment is part of the company’s long-term commitment to supporting growth and productivity across the country, and is estimated to contribute £14 billion to the UK’s total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through to 2028, and support an average of more than 14,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs on an annual basis at local UK businesses. These positions all form part of the AWS data centre supply chain, ranging from construction, facility maintenance, engineering, telecommunications, and other jobs within the broader local economy. Increasing investment in the UK AWS first launched an AWS Region in the UK in December 2016, and over the last few years, the company has continued to expand the Region to include three Availability Zones (AZ), two WaveLength Zones, two Edge Locations, and a Regional Edge Cache. In fact, since the start of the decade (2020-2023), AWS has invested over £3 billion in the UK to help meet the growing needs of its customers. This investment is estimated to have supported an average of more than 6,000 FTE jobs at local businesses. Combined with today’s announcement, this will bring AWS’s total planned investment in the UK from 2020-2028 to more than £11 billion. Today, organisations of all sizes and across all industries are using AWS – from the fastest growing startups, to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the largest enterprises, public sector organisations, educational institutions, and government agencies. Customers like AstraZeneca, Cancer Research UK, Deliveroo, easyJet, EDF, Genomics England, Just Eat, Monzo, Natural History Museum, NatWest Group, Sainsbury’s, Swindon Borough Council, The Very Group, UK Biobank, and Zilch are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said: “This £8 billion Amazon Web Services investment marks the start of the economic revival and shows Britain is a place to do business. I welcome the announcement as part of the Government’s mission to boost growth, unlock investment and make every part of Britain better off.” Technology Secretary, Peter Kyle, said: “Today’s announcement reflects the growing strength of the UK’s digital economy with a key player like Amazon Web Services committing to growing and expanding on our shores. As Technology Secretary, I am committed to supporting digital advancement so that it can improve lives and livelihoods for the better. From increasing compute power to providing access to AI – it is vital that innovators have the infrastructure they need to grow our digital economy and drive breakthroughs.” Tanuja Randery, Vice President and Managing Director, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) at AWS, said: “The next few years could be among the most pivotal for the UK’s digital and economic future, as organisations of all sizes across the country increasingly embrace technologies like cloud computing and AI to help them accelerate innovation, increase productivity, and compete on the global stage. We’re proud to announce our plans to invest £8 billion in digital and AI infrastructure over the next five years to help meet the growing needs of our customers and partners, and support the transformation of the UK’s digital economy.” Helping the UK take full advantage of the growing benefits of cloud computing and artificial intelligence The total economic impact of cloud computing in the UK accounted for over £42 billion in 2023, according to independent analysis by Telecom Advisory Services. That’s equivalent to 1.6% of GDP, or larger than the UK’s automotive manufacturing sector. To better understand the current and potential impact of cloud computing and AI in the UK, AWS commissioned independent consultancy, Public First, to undertake new quantitative research on how UK businesses are using – and plan to use – cloud computing. As part of this, Public First polled over 2,000 senior business decision-makers and constructed new economic modelling on the connections between digital technology and business productivity. Cloud computing is an important enabling technology for UK growth Cloud computing has enabled startups, small businesses and public sector bodies to have access to the same technologies as the largest enterprises, which has helped them to drive innovation faster, reduce costs, and compete on a global stage. According to Public First’s polling, 84% of respondents who are AWS customers think that their business has saved money as a result of investing in cloud infrastructure, with an average cost saving of 28% compared to using on-premises infrastructure. On average, respondents said that using AWS reduces the time it takes to deploy new software by over a quarter (27%). In addition, 82% of AWS customers think that cloud computing has made it possible for them to take their business global, while 85% agree that the use of cloud computing has made it easier to compete with larger companies. Cloud computing has not only reduced costs and increased innovation, it also helps businesses and the public sector to improve their energy efficiency and sustainability too. The polling revealed that more than three quarters (78%) of AWS users say they have reduced their energy consumption and improved their sustainability as a result of using the cloud. How technology can bring more value to the UK economy As part of the research, Public First gave each company who responded a digital intensity score based on the extent to which they were using and benefiting from cloud computing and other digital technologies. There was a clear correlation between companies’ overall level of digital intensity and their average revenue growth last year. Digital Leaders – companies in the top 20% of digital intensity – were four times more likely to have seen strong revenue growth above 5% in the last year. To help the UK take full advantage of the growing economic benefits of technologies including cloud computing and AI, more companies will need to adopt these tools – not just

Navigating international hiring in the Netherlands: Key strategies for businesses

Navigating international hiring in the Netherlands: Key strategies for businesses

As the Dutch economy continues to thrive, more and more international companies are looking to tap into the talented workforce of the Netherlands. This trend has led to an increased focus on effective strategies for hiring international employees in the country. In this article, we’ll explore two key concepts that can help businesses streamline their international hiring process: the IND recognized sponsor system and Employer of Record services. Understanding the IND recognized sponsor system For companies looking to hire highly skilled migrants in the Netherlands, becoming an IND recognized sponsor can be a game-changer. This status, granted by the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), offers several benefits to businesses: However, with these benefits come certain responsibilities. IND recognized sponsors must maintain accurate records, report changes in employee status, and ensure compliance with Dutch immigration laws. While the process may seem daunting, the advantages often outweigh the administrative burden for companies committed to international hiring. Leveraging Employer of Record services in the Netherlands For businesses that want to hire in the Netherlands without establishing a local entity, Employer of Record Netherlands services can be an excellent solution. An Employer of Record (EOR) acts as the legal employer for your workers in the country, handling payroll, taxes, and compliance issues on your behalf. This arrangement offers several advantages for foreign companies: reduced time and cost associated with setting up a Dutch subsidiary, minimized legal and compliance risks, and flexibility to test the market before committing to a permanent presence. By partnering with an experienced EOR, businesses can focus on their core operations while ensuring their Dutch employees are managed in full compliance with local laws and regulations. Best practices for successful international hiring Regardless of whether you choose to become an IND recognized sponsor or work with an Employer of Record, there are several best practices to keep in mind when hiring internationally in the Netherlands: Cultural considerations The Dutch workplace culture values directness, equality, and work-life balance. When recruiting and managing international employees, it’s essential to understand and respect these cultural norms. Consider offering cultural training to both your existing team and new hires to foster a harmonious work environment. Legal and administrative tips Stay informed about Dutch labor laws, including working hours, vacation time, and termination procedures. Ensure that your employment contracts are compliant with local regulations and clearly outline the terms and conditions of employment. It’s also wise to establish a clear communication channel for addressing any concerns or questions your international employees may have. The future of international employment in the Netherlands As the global workforce becomes increasingly mobile, the Netherlands is likely to remain an attractive destination for international talent. Businesses that can effectively navigate the complexities of cross-border hiring will be well-positioned to benefit from this trend. By leveraging tools like the IND recognized sponsor system and Employer of Record services, companies can build diverse, talented teams that drive innovation and growth in the Dutch market and beyond. As you consider your international hiring strategy, remember that success often lies in finding the right balance between compliance, efficiency, and cultural sensitivity. With the right approach and support, your business can thrive in the dynamic and diverse landscape of international employment in the Netherlands.

Business Loan For Expansion: A Business's Guide To Navigating Growth

Business Loan For Expansion: A Business’s Guide To Navigating Growth

Whether it’s opening a new location, launching a new product, or increasing your workforce, growth is essential for long-term business success. But growth often requires new capital, and that’s where a business loan for expansion comes in. Navigating the world of business loans can be daunting, but with the right approach, you can secure the funding you need to take your business to the next level.  Different Kinds Of Business Loan For Expansion There are several types of business loans available, each suited to different needs. Understanding what your loan options are will help you choose the right loan type to help your business’s expansion.  Choosing The Right Lender Not all lenders are created equal. The right lender for your business will depend on several factors, including the type of loan you need, the loan amount, and your creditworthiness.  If you have a solid credit history and are looking for a larger loan amount, traditional banks can be a good option. They often offer lower interest rates, but the approval process can be lengthy and require extensive documentation.  On the other hand, non-conventional lenders have become a popular choice for small businesses looking to expand their operations. Financing by Credibly and others like them often have quicker approval processes and more lenient requirements than traditional banks. Credit unions, meanwhile, are nonprofit organizations that offer lower interest rates and more to their clients. They can be a good option if you value customer service and are looking for a smaller loan amount.  Finally, if you’re considering an SBA loan, you’ll need to work with a lender that participates in the SBA program. Preparing For Your Business Loan Application Lenders will look through and weigh in different factors to determine if you and your company are creditworthy. Here’s how you can prepare:  Navigating The Loan Approval Process Once you’ve chosen a lender and submitted your application, the approval process begins. Patience is key for the whole process may take a few weeks and roadblocks may present themselves along the way. 1. Be prepared to answer your lender’s questions about your business’s financial health, your expansion plan, and so on.  2. Before accepting a loan offer, carefully review the terms. Pay attention to the interest rate, repayment schedule, and any fees associated with the loan. Make sure you understand the total cost of the loan and how it fits into your business’s target.  3. If the terms of the loan aren’t ideal, don’t be afraid to negotiate. Lenders may be willing to adjust the interest rate, repayment schedule, or loan amount if they see you as a valuable customer.  4. Stay in contact with your lender throughout the approval process. If there are delays or issues, open communication can help resolve them quickly.  Final Words Expanding your business is an exciting journey, but it requires careful planning and financial management. A business loan for expansion can provide the capital you need to grow, but it’s important to choose the right loan, prepare a strong application, manage the loan effectively post-expansion, and so on. Keep in mind the points featured above for a smooth sailing journey for your business – from the initial loan application to the smart utilization of the loan proceeds.

Evesham and Droitwich MP visits Jet Plant Hire as local business celebrates setting industry standards

Evesham and Droitwich’s MP has spoken to one of the leading businesses in the area to find out how they’re setting the standard for road planing in the UK. ​Nigel Huddleston met a range of staff from Jet Plant Hire during his visit to the successful contractor. ​The company has an extensive fleet of planing machines and ancillary equipment which is deployed on projects right across the UK, from large contracts in the private and public sectors, to general hire.  The MP found out about the rich history of the company, which was originally founded in 1989 by the current Managing Director Sean Witheford’s father. ​Since its humble beginnings, the business has gone from strength to strength to become one of the largest local employers in Evesham. ​It’s also envied for the work it does to become an increasingly sustainable business, repurposing 100% of road planings during jobs. ​During the last year the company has delivered hundreds of thousands of tonnes of planings from job sites. The majority of these have gone to local businesses, with an average of 1 million tonnes of road planings generated every year. Currently the average tip is just 5.2 miles from the job site. ​Sean Witheford, Managing Director of Jet Plant, said: “It was a pleasure to host Nigel… I’m incredibly proud of the progress the business has made over the last few decades and it’s always great to be able to demonstrate that. ​“We’re fully accredited and accountable…. Our unwavering commitment to sustainable practices and excellence in planing solutions reinforces our position as an industry leader, setting the benchmark for others to follow. ​“Nigel toured our Evesham HQ, met numerous people from our talented team and even got to climb onto one of our impressive two metre planers too.” ​Nigel Huddleston, MP for Evesham and Droitwich, said: “I was delighted to visit Jet Plant Hire and be able to talk to them about the challenges that they are facing, as well as being able to hear about a lot of the great work that they are doing for our highways network. ​ “They are an important local employer, and I was pleased to help and support them in their plans to engage with local schools about the job opportunities that they have on offer for our future workforce.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
