LONDON: Amazon has had no problem hiring staff in Britain and plans an extra 450 high tech jobs, its UK boss said, despite the uncertain status of non-British European Union nationals. 

Doug Gurr, Amazon's UK Country Manager, said the company was pleased that both the British government and the EU have prioritised an early agreement on the position of non-UK EU citizens in Britain and UK citizens in Europe during the Brexit negotiations.
