Project management for education and charity works in Milton Keynes

At Project Management Solutions MK, we deliver expert project management for both Capital Works and Revenue Projects — with a special focus on the education and charity sectors.

From large-scale infrastructure builds to compliance-led operational improvements, we guide projects that improve environments, streamline systems and deliver lasting value. Our embedded approach means we don’t just advise from the outside — we become part of your organisation. This allows us to shape delivery around your goals, your governance and your people.

Delivering Embedded Project Management in the Milton Keynes area

Project Management Solutions MK is the rebranded continuation of Project Management Solutions, a trusted name with over 15 years of experience delivering transformative projects across the education and charity sectors. From capital builds to digital change programmes, we’ve supported institutions in achieving ambitious outcomes under complex conditions.

Our PRINCE2-certified team takes a truly embedded approach: we integrate within your organisation to fully understand your culture, goals and challenges, ensuring that every process, decision and deliverable is aligned with your values.

We’re more than project managers. We’re long-term collaborators who bring clarity, structure and momentum to your projects, adapting our methods to suit your people, not the other way around.

Deep Sector Knowledge

We specialise in the education and charity sectors, with hands-on knowledge of governance structures, funding challenges and stakeholder expectations — allowing us to hit the ground running.

Embedded Delivery Model

We don’t just manage from the outside. We fully integrate with your teams, processes and priorities — tailoring our approach to your internal culture for better alignment and smoother delivery.

Clear, Honest Communication

We believe in transparency. That means no jargon, no waffle — just timely updates, clear reports and proactive problem-solving so you’re always informed and in control.

Proven Results

Our track record speaks for itself. From campus-wide builds to operational overhauls, we’ve successfully led projects that deliver lasting value, within time and on budget.

Our Tailored Project Management Services

At Project Management Solutions MK, we specialise in flexible Capital Works and Revenue Project Management support across the Education and Charity sectors.

Whether you need embedded project leadership from start to finish or targeted expertise at critical phases, our PRINCE2‑certified team ensures your goals are met with clarity, culture alignment and cost-efficiency.

Capital Works Project Management

We manage the full lifecycle of capital builds and refurbishments in Milton Keynes, from planning applications and procurement to stakeholder alignment and risk mitigation.

Our approach makes us part of your team, ensuring clear structure, seamless execution and momentum across every stage.

Benefit: A structured, phase-smart service that builds trust and momentum from Day One.

Revenue Project Management

Whether it’s digital transformation, compliance or operational change, we lead projects that require careful coordination and strategic insight.

Fully integrating with your organisation, we help unify stakeholders, reduce communication barriers and keep timelines and budgets on track.

Benefit: Agile project delivery that simplifies decisions and maximises efficiency.

Education Sector Project Management

We understand the unique needs of schools, colleges and academies — from student safeguarding to curriculum impact.

Our work spans refurbishments, SEN adaptations, large-scale builds and compliance programmes, all managed with sensitivity to governance and stakeholder input.

Benefit: Tailored delivery aligned with educational values, governance  and learner success.

Charity Sector Project Management

We work with charitable organisations to manage facility upgrades, new builds and strategic change with compassion and clarity.

With deep knowledge of charity governance and financial limitations, we ensure every resource is used wisely and every stakeholder is heard.

Benefit: Value-focused delivery that respects governance structures and maximises impact.

Tailored Project Management

At Project Management Solutions MK, our approach is based on one principle: we work with you, not just for you.

We don’t parachute in with rigid frameworks — instead, we embed directly within your organisation, becoming part of your team so we can truly understand your culture, goals and ways of working. This allows us to tailor project delivery models that fit your environment, whether you're a school, college, charity or trust.

Our services are fully flexible — we offer both:

  • Full project embedding: from initial scoping through to delivery and handover

  • Targeted embedding: expert input at key stages such as procurement, governance, risk management or compliance.

By embedding ourselves early, we build trust, improve communication and drive faster, better-informed decision-making.

The result? Projects that not only finish on time and on budget — but feel like a natural extension of your internal operations.

Even on challenging projects, PMS lead from the front to ensure the best possible solutions are delivered for the client. With an attention to detail and hands-on approach during the construction stage, PMS make sure they are ahead of the contractors, which is a key factor in the consistently high project success rate. It is always a pleasure to work on a design team managed by PMS and achieve industry-leading firsts.

  • Mark joined Camphill MK midway through our project following recommendations from his previous work achievements. He quickly got to know the team, the details and objectives, and the scope of our build project. We are grateful to Mark for not just enabling us to deliver on time and to budget but also championing our charity and the work it does. Mark has the ability to take a high-level view on projects and quickly identify potential future sticking points, ensuring that all involved are well briefed and, most importantly, follow through on agreed expectations. From a project management perspective, Mark excelled in balancing cost, time, quality and scope, and we are thrilled with the building now that the first phase of the works is complete. He engaged all contractors in our crowdfunding campaign, encouraging every one of them to get to know the charity better, to involve our client base, and to secure donations from them

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Mark as our Capital Projects Consultant for over a decade. His expertise in both design and build has been instrumental in the successful completion of numerous large capital schemes. From initial design to final build and opening, his work has been exemplary. His ability to manage and deliver projects across a wide range of contacts has consistently exceeded our expectations.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Georgina, and I can confidently say she is an outstanding professional who brings clarity, energy, and purpose to everything she does. She consistently keeps the bigger picture in mind, ensuring that her work—and the work of those around her—contributes meaningfully to broader goals. Georgina is a highly effective communicator and listener. and she excels at bringing people together collaboratively, creating strong working relationships and shared ownership of outcomes. Georgina has a unique ability to bring ideas to life—taking a concept on paper and turning it into something tangible and impactful. She’s not afraid to get stuck in and shows great adaptability in the face of change or challenge. In short, Georgina is strategic, collaborative, and action-oriented—a real asset to any team or organisation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

  • Our initial project with Mark was a fast-paced refurbishment project in 2008 to create a new university facility in Milton Keynes for Milton Keynes College. It was a demonstration of what could be achieved if everybody worked as a collaborative team. The project was a resounding success for all parties, and a large part of that success was down to Mark’s care and attention in delivering a fantastic learning facility for the learners and his ultimate client. Since that time, we have gone on to do in excess of twenty further educational projects valued at over £75m for numerous different learning establishments. Every project has had its own set of unique challenges to overcome, and whilst I’m not going to pretend we didn’t have some battles along the way, Mark always had the client’s best interests at heart. Together, we have always overcome the obstacles and delivered some exceptional educational facilities in the northern home counties. Mark demands that his projects are a success, and I’m proud to say that the projects that we have been involved with certainly have been.

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and engaging him as our Project Manager when we bought our own building, which needed significant refurbishment. Being complete rookies in this area, we needed someone who could guide us and also the contractors, to keep the project on track, both with timescales are most importantly within budget. Mark was firm but fair and worked with us to find solutions where there were small bumps along the way. He became part of our team for the duration of the project. I would strongly recommend Mark's services, whatever the size of your project, Mark will work with you to get it delivered.

  • PMS are ‘can-do’ construction project managers who find solutions to the myriad of problems that a modern-day project in the UK will inevitably encounter. To that end, they are similar to us, they focus on getting the job done in the best interests of the client. That is why we love working with PMS; no ‘flim flam’. If you are a client who wants to build something on a reasonable budget and timescale, use PMS. If you want to waste fees and time, then I can recommend many other firms.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Georgina for roughly 5 years whilst she was heading up account management in the Milton Keynes office. Throughout Georgina showed great leadership skills and has been very passionate about driving performance whilst maintaining a conscious effort to understand, improve and develop her team and department as a whole. Georgina is always willing to pitch in at a moment’s notice wherever she can help or is needed and has always had the client’s best interests in mind. Able to diffuse stressful situations and inspire co-workers Georgina is definitely someone you want around!

  • Throughout the project, Mark places himself at the centre of the team, directing the client as much as the builders and designers. His approach is often blunt and direct, often with humour, but with a laser focus on delivery and getting the best value. I would feel confident entering into a scheme knowing that Project Management Solutions is managing it.
    Michael Barham, Owner/Director
    Illuminous Consulting Ltd

They manage complex projects from inception to completion with the attention to detail and relentless drive required to see them through successfully. PMS possesses a rare combination of technical expertise, leadership, and tenacity, enabling them to consistently deliver, even under the tightest of timescales and within budget constraints. Their strong character and clear communication style inspire confidence in both clients and teams alike. They take ownership, solve problems proactively, and lead with authority, ensuring no detail is overlooked and expectations are consistently exceeded. Above all, their greatest attribute is that they care. I would not hesitate to recommend PMS to anyone seeking a capable and committed professional to manage their building projects.
