Amazon's UK boss leaves for US retailer Shutterfly

Chris North's departure comes just as Amazon accelerates its plans to enter the grocery market in the UK

Amazon's UK boss Chris North has quit the company to join US online photo gift retailer Shutterfly.

North's departure comes just as Amazon accelerates its plans to enter the grocery market in the UK. The US company recently revealed a deal to sell fresh, chilled and frozen food made by Morrisons, the Bradford-based supermarket chain, after it began selling frozen items via its Prime Now service in London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool.
