Michael Page recruitment in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is arguably England's most famous 'new town', created from 1967 onwards as part of a government scheme to increase the population in the area from 45,000 to more than 250,000. By 2011 this had been achieved and more than 200,000 Milton Keynes jobs had been created too.

As a leading Milton Keynes recruitment consultancy, the team at Michael Page work to find the most suitable candidates for local businesses with hiring opportunities available. We work with candidates to find relevant vacancies, and with clients to shortlist the best local talent, providing an end-to-end matching service to deliver maximum value to both parties.

Many of Milton Keynes' most famous landmarks relate to its transport system. The town has a distinct grid of 'horizontal' and 'vertical' roads, many of which are numbered for easy navigation. There are also a large number of roundabouts at major junctions around Milton Keynes, but relatively few traffic lights. For pedestrians and cyclists, the Redways are paths that pass under road bridges, rather than requiring traffic light controlled crossings, and this makes commuting by bicycle safe and popular.

The Concrete Cows are among the town's most famous residents. This art installation by the American artist Elizabeth Leyh has since been moved indoors at the Central Milton Keynes shopping centre. However, replicas have been placed in a field close to the junction of Monks Way and Erica Road, and remain a tourist attraction during visits to the town.
