This week saw the announcement of the appointment of Visual Identity’s Jacqui Wilkins, MD, to the role of the Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce Board President of the Board of Directors.
As Founder and Director of the award-winning creative communications consultancy, Visual Identity, Jacqui brings with her over 30 years’ experience running her own successful business; as a life-long supporter of all things Milton Keynes, Jacqui is a keen champion for everything the city has to offer.
A proud alumnus of the Chelsea School of Art. Jacqui is a passionate believer that the education system should align with the modern business world. She believes childhood beginnings should not predetermine future achievements. She has been the recipient of numerous accolades throughout her career. Jacqui has steered Visual Identity through two major recessions and turned challenges into a platform for greater successes.
At such a vital juncture in its history. Jacqui’s strength is in forging strong relationships. She hopes to share her passion for Milton Keynes with other business owners. She states is “the best place to live and work in the UK.”
Louise Wall, Interim Chief Executive of Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce said, “We are delighted that Jacqui is to become our new President. She has already served on the board for seven years. Therefore, have no doubt that with Jacqui’s expertise and guidance at the helm, the Milton Keynes Chamber will only go from strength to strength.”
In looking to the future, Jacqui finished,
“Through authentic action and care for our membership we will identify current needs, implement new ideas, and offer meaningful services to all member levels and business sectors.”
Jacqui attended the Chelsea School of Art from 1979 to 1983. This became a life-changing experience. From a shy little girl (yes, really!) to today, MD of Visual Identity Creative Ltd and now President of the Milton Keynes Chamber.
“I am eternally grateful to the school teachers that recognised a talent that I didn’t recognise myself.“
Jacqui received traditional training at Chelsea School of Art. Chelsea School of Art developed unique thinkers. The students were taught by the best in the business, as well as some of the most well-known figures in the creative industry.
The School moved to Manresa Road in 1963. The College moved to Pimlico in 2005 before the Manresa Road building was sadly demolished in 2010.
“You never know where life will take you. Step out of your comfort zone and become the person you are meant to be. I am delighted to be announced Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce President.”
Jacqui is looking forward to playing an influential part in the continued growth of Milton Keynes. She plans to support the Chamber’s desire to build for the future.
The team at Visual Identity is immensely proud. They do not doubt that Jacqui will have. And the huge impact on the Chambers’ success and aim to support local businesses.
