Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Milton Keynes Development Partnership LLP.

We have reached a very exciting stage in our existence; we have an excellent track record of delivering outcomes that have benefited the city of Milton Keynes. We have expertly utilised our portfolio of property and assets to create new high-quality developments, that have brought many new homes,  jobs and facilities to the area and achieved positive placemaking outcomes.

But our ambitions stretch beyond this, and we are now looking for a Non-Executive Director to join our Board and help deliver key placemaking projects for the city.
