Wednesday newspaper round-up: Just Eat, energy suppliers, Amazon
(Sharecast News) - The takeaway company Just Eat is planning to open a customer service site in north-east England, which will employ 1,500 people as it brings jobs back from India and Bulgaria. The business said that it would invest £100m in the region over the next five years, with staff working partly from home and partly from its new Sunderland-based office. - Guardian Several UK energy suppliers have said they will raise the price of their standard gas and electricity tariffs to the maximum limit set by the energy regulator for the coming winter. Ofgem's price cap will climb to its highest level since it was introduced in early 2019 owing to a surge in global gas market prices. The regulator said that for 11 million households who pay by direct debit, energy bills would increase from an average of £1,138 a year to £1,277 from October. - Guardian

Amazon is the latest company to introduce new joiner bonuses as UK companies struggle with staff shortages caused by a combination of Brexit, the coronavirus and self-isolation rules. - Telegraph
