Struggling to find people with the right skills?

You’re not the only one.

Many businesses are facing the same challenge: candidates with potential, but not always the experience, confidence or work-readiness needed from day one.

That’s why we’re hosting Workforce Ready: Apprenticeships, Incentives & Industry Placements.

This free event will help businesses understand the support available to build their future workforce, including apprenticeship incentives, industry placements and employer support.

It’s also your chance to share what skills your business needs and help shape future support for the local business community.

📅 Tuesday 7 July
⏰ 9:30am to 11:30am
📍 MK College, South Central Institute of Technology

Free to attend. Open to members and non-members.

Book your place today.

MEMBER NEWS: We are proud to announce Willen Hospice as Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce’s Charity of the Year for 2026/2027.

Willen Hospice provides free specialist palliative and end-of-life care for people and their families, both at the hospice and in their own homes. It is a charity rooted in the Milton Keynes community, and one that makes a real difference when families need support most.

As Charity of the Year, Willen Hospice will receive complimentary Silver Chamber Partner membership, including networking opportunities, business support, event tickets, website visibility and opportunities to share its work through wider Chamber publications.

We are looking forward to working with the team throughout the year to help raise awareness, build new relationships and connect them with businesses across Milton Keynes.

In just a few weeks, we’ll be bringing members together for the Chamber Summer BBQ at Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton.

This is your chance to step away from the laptop, enjoy a relaxed evening with fellow local businesses, and have the kind of conversations that don’t always happen in a formal networking room.

Good food. Good company. Hopefully good weather!

Whether you’re looking to catch up with familiar faces, meet new contacts, or simply enjoy a more informal Chamber event, this is one to add to the diary.

📅 Wednesday 15 July
⏰ 5:30pm to 7:30pm
📍 Delta Hotels by Marriott Northampton

Members only. Book your place today.

MEMBER NEWS: Great signage does more than point people in the right direction. It shapes the whole visitor experience!

Chamber member MK Marking Systems Ltd has been working with Towcester Racecourse to deliver a full suite of high-impact commercial signage as part of the venue’s renovation.

From large-format trackside advertising boards to wayfinding, entrance signs and premium interior signage, the project showcases the detail, planning and quality needed for a venue that welcomes thousands of visitors.

It is also a brilliant example of local expertise supporting one of Northamptonshire’s most recognisable destinations.

A huge well done to the MK Marking Systems Ltd team on a fantastic project!

Digital Carnets are now live!

From today, 1 June, the eATA transition begins for the UK, EU, Norway and Switzerland.

If your business uses ATA Carnets to temporarily move goods overseas, you may now be issued a digital Carnet alongside your paper Carnet, depending on your travel route.

Before travelling, make sure you have:

✅ Created your trip in the ATA Carnet Desktop or mobile app
✅ Checked whether a digital and/or paper Carnet has been issued
✅ Your Carnet ID and PIN ready
✅ The correct QR codes prepared for customs
✅ Your paper Carnet available if one has been issued in parallel

This is a major change for businesses moving goods internationally, so please don’t wait until you are at customs to check the process.

Need help? Speak to the Chamber team.
