Magnificent B4 Classic Event at 141 Park Drive, Milton Park
On 10th May B4 Members and guests enjoyed an evening of networking in the fantastic, innovative venue 141 Park Drive, Milton Park. Followed by speeches from B4’s Richard Rosser and Milton Park’s Philip Campbell. The evening provided our guests an insight into the people behind Milton Park, how the place is run and the latest news and developments within this fascinating science and business park.
Philip Campbell, Commercial Director of Milton Park commented: “Great to see so many people at Milton Park yesterday and enjoyed catching up with familiar faces and meeting some new ones. We are very lucky to live and work in such a great place with so many brilliant people and a wealth of dynamic businesses. Thank you once again.”
B4’s Richard Rosser added: “Thank you to the team at Milton Park including Philip Campbell and Nancy Leadley plus The Wandering Kitchen for their fantastic food and five star service. We had some great feedback on the night and in the aftermath of this extremely well attended B4 event and it was obvious how much the B4 members and guests enjoyed the venue and services on offer! Thank you to everyone who came along and to those who took part in the eventful hairdryer photo competition!”
“My first B4 event, thank you everyone for the welcome, great event, with the added bonus of a hilarious hairdryer photo!”

Competition Fun
MEPC also added a bit of photography fun to the evening.
As part of the marketing suite for the new space props were set up in the event area to showcase the amenities at Milton Park, one of them was an overhead hairdryer to symbolise the onsite hairdressers. Guests were asked to pose under the hairdryer for a photo. A photo was then selected at random and the lucky participant given a bottle of champagne from MEPC.
Congratulations to Jose Gouveia, Managing Director of Oxford CleanTech for his hair-raising performance!
