Professional education and training provider BPP has joined Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce, strengthening its connections with employers and organisations across the region.

The new membership will provide BPP with opportunities to increase its profile, engage with the local business community and support organisations looking to develop the skills and capabilities of their people.

As part of its commitment to the regional business community, BPP has also been confirmed as the headline sponsor of the Milton Keynes Business Exhibition, taking place on Thursday 12 November 2026 at Kents Hill Training & Conference Centre.

The exhibition will bring businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals from across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas together for a day of networking, learning and new business opportunities.

As headline sponsor, BPP will play a prominent role throughout the event. The organisation will deliver a workshop, speak during the morning networking session and meet attendees from its exhibition stand.

BPP will also feature across the exhibition’s promotional campaign, digital brochure, event materials and online communications.

BPP, part of Lyceum Education Group, works with employers to build the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing business environment.

Its professional education and training covers areas including artificial intelligence, technology, data, cyber security, finance, accountancy, law, healthcare, leadership and human resources.

Through apprenticeships, professional qualifications, short courses, degree programmes and workforce development solutions, BPP helps organisations close skills gaps, strengthen talent pipelines and improve business performance.

BPP is trusted by more than 5,000 employers and trains more than 65,000 learners each year.

Nikki Botterill, Director of Skills and Employer Engagement Strategy at BPP, said:

“Milton Keynes is one of the UK’s ambitious business centres, with organisations that are growing quickly, embracing change and thinking differently about the future.

“That’s what makes joining the Chamber such an exciting opportunity for us. We want to be part of the conversations that are shaping the local business community and build meaningful relationships with employers across the region.

“Many organisations are facing the same challenge: how do you develop the skills your business needs in a world being transformed by technology? As a provider of professional education and training, we’re looking forward to sharing our expertise, learning from Chamber members and helping businesses develop the people and leadership capabilities that will drive future success.

“We’re also proud to be headline sponsor of the Milton Keynes Business Exhibition. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet local employers, hear first-hand about the opportunities and challenges they’re facing, and explore how we can work together to support growth across the region.

 

Liz Coughlin, Head of Milton Keynes Business Development at Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce, said:

“We are very pleased to welcome BPP as a new Chamber member and headline sponsor of the Milton Keynes Business Exhibition.

“Skills development remains one of the most important issues facing employers. Businesses need access to practical, relevant training that helps their people keep pace with changing technology, new ways of working and evolving customer expectations.

“BPP brings considerable knowledge and experience across professional education, apprenticeships and workforce development. Its involvement will add real value to both the Chamber network and the exhibition.

“We look forward to introducing BPP to our members and working together to support businesses across Milton Keynes and the wider region.”

Membership of Milton Keynes Chamber provides BPP with access to Chamber events, business support, promotional opportunities, member visibility and connections across both Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire.

The Milton Keynes Business Exhibition will take place on Thursday 12 November 2026 at Kents Hill Training & Conference Centre.
