Broughton Manor Preparatory School The steady growth of the of the young city of Milton Keynes, with businesses and residents not only in the town but in the surrounding villages, shows with the many families moving into the area. This growth seems to be highlighted in the continual success and therefore expansion of one of the city’s schools, Broughton Manor Preparatory School.
The children benefit here from the extra facilities that have been added to the school and with recently doubling the size of the playground, there is plenty of opportunity to burn off energy between classes. Recently introducing the outside classroom in the “Spinney” allows the children as much outside activity and interactive learning as possible, and the soon to be built Astroturf pitch will enhance their already diverse games lessons, giving the children a chance to acquire new skills while at play. The anticipated addition of Phase 5 of the School is being built and will be completed next year, bringing a brand new assembly hall, 3 more preparatory department classrooms and a state of art ICT Suite. With all the excitement surrounding the new facilities additions at Broughton Manor, there still is the focus on teaching the children to their best ability and maintaining their high academic standards. The care and attention to detail with each and every child is of paramount importance to the dedicated staff at Broughton Manor Preparatory School.
Situated just off Junction 14 of the M1, minutes from Centre MK and with very easy access to all the surrounding villages, this makes for great positioning for those parents in need of a local school within their daily commute via the east side of the city. This growth has reflected in the increase of pupils and the need to expand the superb facilities that are already available to all ages and departments of the school. From the babies in the Nursery at 2 months through to the Preparatory children of 11yrs, the demands and needs of each at the forefront of the Schools plans. Even with expansion and growth, what is so reassuring to see is the importance of small class sizes, allowing for individual academic and social development for each child. Certainly something you can see and feel throughout the school are happy, confident, and content children.

MP’s Diary
By Mark Lancaster, MP for Milton Keynes North
As an MP, you often hear people saying ‘you’ve got no idea what it’s like in the real world!’ In the past I’ve worked for my family business and served in the TA, but I want to make sure I stay in touch with what’s happening on the ground in Milton Keynes. So many people contribute to keeping our city up and running on a day to day basis, often doing crucial jobs with no praise, so I have been doing a series of “Work Experience” placements to meet some of MK’s unsung heroes. Being a man who enjoys his food, I kick started my placements with a trip to the Xscape branch of McDonalds. Greeted by Ken Tomkins, the long-serving franchisee of the Xscape and Westcroft stores, I was presented with my personalised ‘MP’ badge. I was set to get a taste of life as a Maccy D’s employee. The organisation behind the counter is incredible, a production line for every component; heating the buns, frying the patties, and wrapping the cheeseburgers. The meticulous process of putting a Big Mac together took me a while to grapple with. I was amazed to watch the experts put four of them together in the time it took me to grill my buns! But sitting down to taste my hard work made it all worth it – surely one of the perks of the job. Ken has pledged to take on 90 more employees this year in Milton Keynes. With fantastic training and career prospects, the old adage that ‘you can always get a job at McDonalds’ takes on a completely new meaning. Having learnt from my shift at McDonalds that these things are never as easy as they look, I prepared myself for the fact that constructing a Subway was going to be no simple task on my work placement at Subway in Kingston. After meeting the franchise owners Tesh and Vimal, I learnt all about being a ‘Sandwich Artist’ from Siobhan Frazer, a
Subway employee of over six years. I was completely taken aback by the precision of a sandwich artist; the 45 degree bread slice, cheese on the top meat on the bottom, wrapping it diagonally. I was surprised to feel so pressured when I could see the queue building whilst I was still trying to tell the wheat bread from the Italian herbs and cheese! Having learnt from my shift at Subway that these things are never as easy as they look, I prepared myself for the fact that constructing a Big Mac was going to be no simple task on my work placement at McDonalds in Xscape. Having made so much food and waste in previous placements, I volunteered to join one of our waste collection teams in Bletchley and give them a hand collecting the city’s rubbish. After a thorough safety briefing at the recycling centre in Wolverton, I joined Paul, Mez and Darren on their round in their new ‘single pass’ vehicle. Designed with separate sections for pink sacks, black sacks and glass, the vehicle reflects the move away from just throwing everything into black sacks destined for landfill and the growing popularity of recycling. With a modern vehicle like this, the need for multiple collections, in theory at least, is much reduced.
To say I hit the ground running is an understatement, these guys don’t mess about! The young crew literally run everywhere and within 30 minutes my outer layers have been stripped off and the chilly morning soon felt more like summer. I’d joined the crew on one of the busiest days of the year, as they struggled to catch up after a long bank holiday weekend. Black sacks in the main hopper and pink in the smaller, with the lorry almost in perpetual motion, no need to go to the gym for these boys and I can see why there didn’t seem to be an ounce of fat on any of them. It was a fascinating morning, hard work but thoroughly satisfying. We all get frustrated when sometimes our blue recycling box isn’t exactly where we left it (they really do all look the same after a while) but I left full of admiration for a crew doing a job many of us wouldn’t fancy. So next time you’re stuck in a cue waiting for a Big Mac, struggling to decide what Subway sandwich to have or even stuck behind a bin lorry, rather than hoot your horn and getting frustrated why not give them a smile and say ‘thanks’ to some of Milton Keynes’ hidden heroes.

The Grass Is Definitely Greener After 10 years of trading, local Business owner’s Clare Phelan and her Partner Ray Hickling can claim with conviction that it’s all been worth it.
In the Spring of 2003 Clare quit her comfortable management job in the Healthcare sector and decided that she wanted to take control of her own destiny. After much research and having been so impressed with the results on her own lawn, she decided to buy the Milton Keynes GreenThumb Franchise. GreenThumb provide a programme of weedkill, fertiliser and moss control treatments together with aeration, scarification and other specialist treatments to the lawns of domestic homes. “In that first year I did absolutely everything including all the treatments, well you do when you’re trying to get a business off the ground” says Clare. “Fortunately it wasn’t long until Ray was able to join me full time in the business. Since then we have grown every single year to the extent that we now have nearly 3000 Customers in and around Milton Keynes and employ a team of seven staff including lawn technicians, sales people and office staff. Many of our Customers who joined us in the first year are still Customers to this day. It has always been our aim to ensure that we provide not only the best possible treatments for our Customers Lawns but at the same time we strive to ensure our Customer Service is second to none, it’s only by making sure our Customers are delighted with every aspect of GreenThumb that we can build such a loyal Customer base, which in these tough times is one of the things that we feel businesses need to do”

“Who knows what the next 10 years will bring for us all but whatever it is, it’s our aim to keep enjoying what we do whilst tending the lawns of Milton Keynes. It’s important to us that we provide a superb service, value for money, support the community and whilst we’re at it make a decent living for ourselves and our employees”.

Zip down to Midsummer Place for all your alterations This week, garment alterations and tailoring store, The Zip Yard, opened their flagship store at Midsummer Place Shopping Centre. Owner, Pat Fitzgerald identified Milton Keynes as the ideal place to locate the new store franchise, after The Zip Yard’s tremendous success in Eire and Northern Ireland. The 1200 sq ft ZipYard has provided jobs for two local people and will offer a wide range of alteration and tailoring services, all done on site by trained professionals in a clean, purpose-built environment. There will be two changing rooms and a dedicated bridal suite where the ZipYard’s trained seamstresses can pin up alterations in situ. From dress re-styling and taking in or letting out garments to bridal-wear fitting or formal wear alterations, The ZipYard will do it all. There will also be a 1-hour express service for zips, hems and minor repairs. Shoppers can buy a garment in the morning and have the alterations done in time to wear the outfit that evening.
“I’m really excited about our move to Milton Keynes,” said Pat who is relocating with his wife and three children under four to the city. “Milton Keynes has a can-do attitude and I am impressed with the efficient way everything has progressed so far. The premises we have found are perfect for our flagship store and all being well I plan to open another three ZipYards in the surrounding area within 18 months.” To find out more please visit www.midsummerplace. co.uk or join us at facebook.com/midsummer.place.

Small businesses will lead the way in 2013, says company whose tenants already employ 1000 people Milton Keynes will boom in 2013, says the town’s largest serviced business premises provider, as the number of people employed in its units tops 1000 at the close of 2012.
“As Milton Keynes business booms, led by small businesses, we are already identifying potential new units that can be converted to provide the premises needed for small companies to thrive without hassle.”
Bucks Biz, with over 400,000 square feet of space and 150 tenants in Bletchley and Denbigh, says it is already planning more units to cope with the expected growth in demand and bringing forward plans to develop extra space at the huge Interchange House in Howard Way.
Bucks Biz, with units all over Milton Keynes, is renowned for straight talking and dealing; not hiding costs and not charging for many of the little things that keep businesses ticking, but which can be annoying to the point of distraction. “We really believe that if our customers are happy, then they’ll be free to get on with their businesses, which in turn will expand,” added Dominic.
“Our units currently provide work for around a thousand people and we have seen that figure rise steadily,” said Dominic Muscat, a director of the company that owns the business.
