MK Pulse Publishing House and Business MK have become Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce Gold Business Partners.

The renowned community magazine and business newspaper, which celebrates good news from the local economy, has created a mutually beneficial partnership with the Chamber to better support each other in brand awareness.

As a Gold Business Partner, Business MK and MK Pulse guarantee an editorial in the Chamber’s inbusiness magazine, website coverage, event sponsorship opportunities and two free Next Generation Chamber memberships.

The publications also plan to help the Chamber promote their events, offerings and the union’s popular annual awards ceremony, which kicked off Jan. 1.

Business MK and MK Pulse Director Martin Lewis-Stevenson said: “We have been in MK as Pulse magazine for 15 years and Business MK has been in the region for 22 years. Due to the strategic alignment we have in the region, it has emphasized that we are the main media player here in MK.

“This partnership is about collaborating and working with the Chamber to pursue their ‘stronger together’ philosophy. We want to support local institutions, and that’s another piece of the puzzle of what we’re trying to do as a business, supporting corporate social responsibility and building our brand awareness in MK, Beds and Bucks.

“If you look at what they do and what we do, I think there’s a certain synergy. The Chamber aims to help their members and local commerce and we see ourselves in the same way. We want to promote businesses and the local community and why people should be proud of it. It’s about feeling good where you live and where you work.

Northamptonshire Chamber Business Development Manager Sunny Singh said: “Our valued Chamber business partners are influential businesses from across the region and we are delighted to welcome MK Pulse and Business MK to this exclusive group.

“We believe our business community is stronger together, and these partnerships offer the possibility of greater opportunities and more collaborative work.

“We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Martin and his team.”
