The must-attend event on the city’s business calendar
The countdown to a superb event for businesses to reach, engage and connect continues… Welcome to Your Business Expo Milton Keynes.
Everyone among the 90-plus exhibitors is ready to welcome the anticipated hundreds of visitors to what is sure to be a key event in the business calendar on June 5 for Milton Keynes and the wider region.
Our exhibitors reflect the thriving, buzzing business community that is Milton Keynes and are a reflection of the city’s culture, ethos and personality: positive, entrepreneurial, daring to be different.
Your Business Expo Milton Keynes is brought to you by Pulse Group Media, publisher of Business MK - the leading business magazine for the city and Bedfordshire - and its sister title the glossy lifestyle-focused magazine MK Pulse.
Full service marketing agency qoob is once again Your Business Expo’s headline sponsor.
Your Business Expo, being staged at the Ridgeway Centre on Wolverton Mill, aims to create opportunities for quality sales leads, to meet with key decision-makers and to increase awareness of your business brand.
The day begins with a networking breakfast at 8.30am, an informal opportunity to meet, connect and engage. Then comes the main event: the exhibition itself. Opening at 10am, it is free to attend, with hundreds of visitors already booked in.
And as well as the main event, Your Business Expo hosts three workshop seminars throughout the day, each focusing on a topic at the top of the business agenda.
Aligning People and Business Strategy is the topic in the spotlight at 10.30am, when Greg Guilford of HR Solutions discusses cutting-edge approaches and practical advice for implementing strategic HR practices.
Next up at midday is Perry Pearcey of digital marketing specialist qoob, who will look at the Psychology of Marketing: Deciphering Consumer Behaviour. His presentation will discuss the psychology behind the consumer decision-making process.
After lunch, at 1.30pm is an enlightening insight into Artificial Intelligence and the Microsoft Copilot tool from Lionel Naidoo of Dragon Information Systems in his presentation on Everyday Productivity Using AI.
“The buzz around Your Business Expo Milton Keynes has grown relentlessly since we announced the show,” says Pulse Group Media director Kerry Lewis-Stevenson. “We’re delighted to welcome so many great businesses looking to promote themselves via what has become a ‘must attend’ event on the business calendar. Let’s do business.”

Willen Hospice, a former farmhouse, sits within Willen Village, overlooking the lake which was once fields. Willen Hospice opened in 1981, just as Milton Keynes was establishing itself as a new town, having been developed during the 1970s. At this time the hospice movement was in its infancy, with the first modern Hospice founded just 14 years earlier in 1967 by Dame Cicely Saunders. She introduced effective pain management and insisted that dying people needed dignity, compassion, and respect – values that lie within the core of all Hospice care.
Willen Hospice, caring for the Milton Keynes community since 1981 Charity Partner
Known affectionately as just ‘Willen’ by the Milton Keynes community, the Hospice provides specialist, compassionate care for local families affected by a life-limiting illness. This care is provided on the 15-bed in-patient unit at the Hospice, and in the community through the Willen at Home team. Additional services also provide holistic support for patients and their loved ones. Emily shares her story of how Hospice care made all the difference for her family.
Emily’s husband Simon was diagnosed with a fastgrowing brain tumour in January last year at the age of 52. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Simon came to stay in the In-Patient Unit in November for the last 11 days of his life.
To have people not only look after Si, but care for me too, was probably the most precious gift anybody could have given us at that point.”
• Emily and Simon
• From humble beginnings as Manor Farm House to Willen Hospice
• Fundraising started in the 1970s by the ‘Friends of Willen’, successfully raising enough to buy the Manor Farm House
“We had to wait a while for a bed to become available but getting to the Hospice relieved all of the pressure of being a carer. Si had everything he needed, 24/7. To have people not only look after Si, but care for me too, was probably the most precious gift anybody could have given us at that point. He was only there 11 days, but he almost picked up a bit, because he got the right level of care and attention.
If I pressed the buzzer in his room because he was in pain, one of the nurses would come to help and ask if the pain medication was enough and offer to come back if he needed anything else. The doctors would kneel next to the bed and talk to me and Si. Even if Si wasn’t really communicating, they still made him part of his care. Everybody was just so respectful.
The night before Si died, I didn’t want to leave him. The thought that something might happen to him in the seconds I stepped out the room was awful. A nurse offered to sit with Si if I needed to go to the toilet. She even offered to bring in a commode, so I didn’t have to leave the room. It was very touching.
I worry that Si would have suffered had he not been in the Hospice. The care he received is just so vitally important. The fact that the Hospice gets very little NHS funding is just crazy to me, because the Hospice team do such a special job for people.”
How can you help?
Hospice funding is at crisis point and has recently been discussed in the House of Commons. Like most Hospices, Willen only receive a small portion of funding from the NHS, relying on the local community to help fund the rest. In their case, only 15 per cent of costs are covered by ongoing NHS funding, meaning that they have to fundraise £4.5 million every year.
Willen Hospice belongs to Milton Keynes and there are lots of ways the community can support it through fundraising and volunteering. Find out more by speaking with the Willen Hospice Corporate Fundraising team attending the Business Expo, or visit www.willen-hospice.org.uk
