Portfolio Spotlight: Postworks
A spotlight on Foresight’s investment into Postworks, the award-winning platform for sending and receiving letters.
Journey to investment
Postworks, the award-winning platform for sending and recieiving letters, was founded in 2017 by Marvee-Lisa and James Booker.
After giving up their apartment, Marvee-Lisa and James used savings and loans to start Postworks. The first office space doubled as their home and the pair even used a local gym to shower.
Marvee-Lisa and James wanted to expand their team and scale Postworks. Foresight invested in 2018 to support their growth ambitions.
Foresight's team, based in Nottingham, continues to work closely with Marvee-Lisa and James - offering guidance and support as they continue to grow.
Since investment, Postworks has...
Launched a new product, Clearsend, which provides certified proof of postage and tracking through the Royal Mail network, at no extra cost.
Built up a client base of more than 4,000 organisations.
Increased its team - based in its Northampton headquarters - to 30 employees; with a 30% anticipated growth across the next year.
“Our expansion over recent years has been possible thanks to the supportive stewardship of the team at Foresight. They’re brilliant and offer us guidance when needed but let us focus on what we know best – using technology to provide increasingly dynamic postal solutions for our clients.”
Marvee-Lisa Booker, Non-Executive Director & Co-Founder at Postworks
