Christmas is a busy period for businesses in a range of industries — here are seven companies who have vacancies over the festive season.
Amazon
Online giant Amazon announced back in September it was looking to bring in an extra 150 staff to work at its Ipswich depot on the Eastern Gateway Enterprise Park to cope with Christmas demand.
A number of roles based in Ipswich remain listed online.

The role involves talking to customers about the store's products to ensure they make the right choice.

Delivery drivers are going to be extremely busy over the next few weeks and courier Hermes is looking to fill a number of roles in Suffolk.
The firm is seeking people to work as community couriers in several Suffolk towns, including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Felixstowe.

Budget retailer Poundland is advertising a number of Christmas temporary positions across its Suffolk stores on contracts lasting until the end of December.
The online job listings say applicants need to be passionate about customer service and thrive as working as part of a busy team.

Fashion brand Joules is also on the lookout for extra Christmas cover in its Bury St Edmunds shop over the festive period.
