Building Business Connections in Milton Keynes

  • Maggie Sierko - Fractional HR Director
The Meet of MK – End of Summer Party 2025 at Hotel La Tour Milton Keynes brought together an inspiring mix of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community champions from across Buckinghamshire. The evening highlighted the strength of our local business network, with engaging conversations, new partnerships, and the privilege of connecting with Mayor James Lancaster.

Last night, the Meet of MK – End of Summer Party 2025 brought together the Milton Keynes business community at Hotel La Tour for an evening of networking, celebration, and inspiration.

The event showcased the vibrant diversity of entrepreneurs and business leaders from across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire. Attendees enjoyed a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by champagne and fine dining, while engaging in meaningful conversations and forging new partnerships.

Among the many highlights of the evening was the opportunity to meet and speak with Mayor James Lancaster, whose presence underscored the importance of civic and business collaboration in driving forward the region’s growth.

The gathering emphasised that business success is not solely measured by strategies or bottom lines, but also by the strength of community, shared values, and the stories that bring people together. These events serve as vital platforms to foster cooperation, mutual support, and a shared vision for the future of the local economy.

A special thanks goes to the sponsors and contributors who made the evening possible, including Santander, Volkswagen, MK Community Foundation, and many others. Recognition is also due to MKFM for hosting such a dynamic and well-organised event that continues to strengthen the bonds within the Milton Keynes business ecosystem.

As Milton Keynes looks ahead, events like the Meet of MK stand as a testament to the power of connection, collaboration, and community in shaping a thriving business landscape.

If your organisation is facing the challenges of growth, transformation, or restructuring, and you need senior HR expertise that flexes to your needs – I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

“Why would we need a consultant? We’ve already got HR.”
It’s a question I hear often – and honestly, it’s a fair one.
But the reality is, most in-house HR teams are already at full capacity, focused on keeping operations running, not driving strategic change – that’s where I come in.
