Lennard Du Toit, aged 31, was the lucky Hemel employee chosen for the trip.
Lennard, who joined Amazon seven years ago, enjoyed a trip up the Space Needle, visited and toured the Amazon campus and the robotics fulfilment centre in Washington and met Russell Allgor, Amazon’s chief scientist, Worldwide Operations.
Lennard said: “It was so cool to see Amazon in the US.
“Seattle is such a quirky and interesting city and I loved exploring that, but my highlight was meeting the winners from other sites and having this experience together.”
