Welcoming Chris Curtis MP Candidate, to Discuss Milton Keynes’ Digital and Green Future
We were thrilled to welcome Chris Curtis, Labour MP candidate for Milton Keynes North, to our offices yesterday for a forward-looking conversation about the city’s future. The visit provided an opportunity to explore key issues affecting our community, from environmental sustainability to the growth of a tech-driven economy.
The discussion covered a broad spectrum of topics, including green energy initiatives, support for small and medium-sized businesses, investment in education, housing, and healthcare. Our team highlighted pressing local concerns such as affordable housing, family support, revitalising the local economy, strengthening NHS services, and tackling climate change. It was a truly engaging session that emphasised collaboration between the private sector, local government, and the community.
Building a Digital and Green Milton Keynes
As a leading digital marketing agency in Milton Keynes, we are deeply invested in innovation and digital transformation. We see technology as a key driver for a greener, more sustainable local economy, and we were particularly keen to explore Chris Curtis’ vision for turning Milton Keynes into a hub for STEM — science, technology, engineering, and maths.
Chris outlined proposals to boost investment in education, skills training, and small businesses, reflecting a commitment to nurturing economic growth while addressing local social and environmental needs. His plans align closely with our own mission to foster digital innovation and sustainability in the city.
Supporting the Next Generation of Tech Talent
The visit also coincided with the launch of our T-level work placement programme at South Central Institute of Technology, Milton Keynes College. This initiative is designed to give students pursuing digital technology pathways hands-on experience in areas including:
Web design and development near Milton Keynes
Search engine optimisation (SEO)
Pay-per-click (PPC) campaign management
Digital marketing strategy and execution
Beyond technical skills, students also gain essential soft skills, such as communication, negotiation, leadership, and client management — preparing them for thriving careers in the fast-evolving digital sector.
Joe Gilbert, Managing Director at Giraffe, said:
“As a local Milton Keynes web design agency, we are passionate about nurturing the city’s future talent. Collaborating with educational institutions helps bridge the skills gap and empowers young people to succeed. Initiatives like this, combined with close collaboration with Milton Keynes College and local government, ensure that STEM education, sustainability, and innovation remain central to our city’s growth.”
