Collaborate MK Lunchtime Business Networking

Collaborate MK are back at the YMCA on Wednesday 11 November, the second Wednesday of the month. It's their usual lunchtime business networking session, which runs from 12:15 to 1:45 pm, with a buffet-style lunch of locally sourced food and drink served from 12:30 pm. Each meeting is built around a topical guest speaker, sponsor updates and two business card draws.

Collaborate MK is a business networking community here in Milton Keynes, founded by Tim Lee in August 2020. Lee had a career in electrical retail management and later ran the networking events at MK Dons Football Club; he started the group during lockdown, and it's grown to more than 270 member businesses run by owners and senior company figures. The network was named 'SME National Networking Group of the Year 2024' at Wembley.

The lunchtime session is a regular fixture, held on the second Wednesday of every month at the YMCA, 1 North Sixth Street, Milton Keynes MK9 2NR. It's a mid-week slot that fits into the working day, so you can head in, have lunch and a chat with other local business people, and be back at your desk by mid-afternoon.

Tickets are £20 plus VAT, and if it's your first time visiting, you can get half price with the code CMKFTA. The session runs from 12:15 to 1:45 pm, with the buffet served from 12:30 pm.
