The digital innovation studio has helped hundreds of companies grow their business online, having expanded from one employee to a globally-distributed team of more than 20 since setting up at Howbery Business Park.
Having brought together a team of passionate digital marketers, product designers and developers, Venture Harbour has built nine ventures so far, ranging from lead generation software to artificial intelligence chatbots, transforming the way over 3 million marketers and entrepreneurs grow their businesses.
Leadformly, a software service that helps capture more leads, which is the company’s latest venture and its most successful to date, is now used by leading brands all over the world. Other products include Marketing Automation Insider which helps marketers find the best software.

Donna Bowles, Estates Manager at Howbery Business Park, said: “We are not at all surprised to see Marcus being acknowledged by the Forbes list. We’re very proud of Marcus’s success, and also of his aim to make Venture Harbour one of the best places to work. They have made themselves a unique creative space, with standing desks and a non-corporate feel. We often see Marcus and the team playing outdoor sports on the park lawn, and it’s good to see they take time out to play as well as work hard!”
