Bianca Chappell
I’ve lived in Milton Keynes for 26 years after moving with my family at 8 years old with my father’s job. We came from London and I honestly felt like we’d moved to Emmerdale! It was very quiet and different from London, but I got used to it very quickly.
I loved that after school my friends and I could go out to play, in the greenery, and build dens out of trees or whatever. Roll on 20 years and I now have children of my own who love it here. It was while I was pregnant I founded Mumpreneurs- the very first organisation to support mums in business in Milton Keynes.

It’s a not for profit networking agency that puts on events once a week, to unite, connect, motivate and empower women starting up in business – and they also happen to be mums. We bring these ladies together, to spend time talking and learning from each other. To help each other. So that’s my day job.
“At home I’m a mummy! So I take off my 6 inch heels, the Uggs go on, the hair ties into a pineapple on top of my head, and I go into mummy mode.”
Then at home I’m a mummy! So I take off my 6 inch heels, the uggs go on, the hair ties into a pineapple on top of my head, and I go into mummy mode. We are a very out doorsy family so when the sun’s out, we’re out. We’re in the parks, in the mud – there’s nothing a shower can’t fix! We have a real love affiliation with the tree cathedral in Willen Lake, that’s a very special place for our family. We love the Buddhist Temple – for anyone who hasn’t been, I urge you to knock on the door and go in. Even though we are Christians, we love to go there for our time together as a family.”
