Apple unveils plans for £2bn global command centre in Arizona

Apple has unveiled plans for $2bn global command centre in Arizona.

The new site, which is expected to employ 150 full-time employees, will hire 300 to 500 construction and trade jobs, and the group has described it as one of the largest investments in its history.

"This multibillion-dollar project is one of the largest investments we've ever made, and when completed it will add over 600 engineering and construction jobs to the more than one million jobs Apple has already created in the US" the tech giant said in a statement on Monday.

The group has stated it intends to completely power the facility with renewable energy, building out solar projects in the process.
