MKBAA Awards 2025 - RTP Make the Final Cut Again!

Here's to celebrating the incredible talent that makes the Milton Keynes business community thrive! 

The Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards is the region’s premier annual celebration of business. It brings together the widest array of businesspeople, educators, local politicians, and civic leaders, to be found in one room, at any point throughout the year. Guests come to meet, to enthuse, and above all, to celebrate all that is wonderful about Milton Keynes’ thriving powerhouse of an economy. 

 

As such, the awards provide a rare opportunity for local businesses to promote their organisation’s brand to a very influential audience, that has real buying power. 

 

Those of us that live in Milton Keynes, know that from its inception as a new town, it has been wonderfully disruptive, joyfully breaking the mould of what a future city could be, look like, and achieve. From our grid system and self-funded, green spaces to our robots and driverless pods, famously, Milton Keynes has done things differently. Different by design: it is this pioneering spirit that has set Milton Keynes apart from all other UK cities, and as the natural place to develop, trial, and roll out, new ideas and technologies. 

 

We were thrilled to hear the incredible news that The Red Thread Partnership were selected as a finalist for not one but two of these prestigious awards for 2025🏆. 

 

We have been shortlisted as a finalist for: 

 

 

This category is for commercial businesses who have a strong social, community and charitable role in the local area. You operate your business guided by strong commercial values, but you also understand that businesses like yours are an integral part of society, not apart from it. Profit makes sense but only when it is balanced by care for the community and your employees benefit from such engagement. The judges are looking to understand why you believe your business has made such a positive impact on our community this year. 

 

This category recognises the significant contribution we make through our Red Thread Fellowship programmes. We are delighted that the impact of this initiative has been recognised in 2025. 

 

 

The judges want to see the hidden gems of businesses in Milton Keynes which create the foundation of both growth and sustainable success for the City. You should be able to demonstrate success over a period of time which is able to contribute the reputation of our city as a place where business and individuals can thrive and grow. 

 

As a small business based in Milton Keynes, RTP has, for the past 13 years, consistently achieved success and profitability. Growth has always been a by-product of fulfilling our purpose. We demonstrate that a clear focus on value creation and client satisfaction is the most sustainable approach for long-term success. It enables our continued contribution to both our clients and wider community. We are very proud of our achievements and welcome this recognition for the second year running. 

 

 

The awards ceremony will take place on 20th March at the Marshall Arena, part of the fabulous Milton Keynes Football Stadium, and it promises to be an incredible evening for all the finalists.  

 

Our progression to the final stages at these awards is demonstrative of the hard work and commitment of our team, our associates and our fellows; we are grateful for all their efforts and support. We also offer a heartfelt thank you to all our clients for their continued support and trust. We have worked hard to cultivate these relationships and appreciate their prolonged faith in our abilities to support them and their businesses. 

 

We would also like to wish the other shortlisted individuals and organisations the best of luck for the Awards evening.
