Amazon has spent more than £4.2B ($5.4B) on the UK creative industries including TV and film since 2010, the conglomerate has revealed, contributing £4.8B to the UK economy.
Unveiled at a swanky London do at the BFI Southbank tonight, the Jeff Bezos-run outfit said it has doubled spend over the past five years, although didn’t put a figure on this.
The numbers, however, are behind Netflix’s spend of $6B on original UK content alone over the past four years. Amazon’s big budget UK TV and films include Good Omens with the BBC and Harry Styles-starring My Policeman, while it has moved production of Season 2 of the biggest budget TV series of all time, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, to the nation.
In terms of its impact on the economy, Amazon said its investments have contributed £4.8B of Gross Value Added to the UK economy over the 13-year period.
