L Brands has announced the planned employment of 4000 more staff to successfully navigate the extra demands on distribution during the holiday season.

The seasonal employees will work at the company’s Morse Road and East Broad Street distribution centers, with some roles expected to become permanent following the initial temporary contract.

The company, which owns Victoria’s Secret, has added a second employment office this year, making applications available at both its Morse Road and East Broad Street distribution centers.

Offering competitive wages and staff discount at the store, the announcement of the increased work force follows the likes of Amazon, which has also expanded its distribution and fulfilment centres in the upper Ohio region in anticipation of a busy festive season.
