Natterbox, a leading provider of global voice cloud services, has secured £7.5 Million of growth equity funding from the Development Capital team at Octopus Investments. The high growth UK scale-up will use the capital to support its continued global expansion, strengthen its sales and marketing operations, and further invest in its rapidly growing customer success and product development teams.

Natterbox is the world’s first global business phone system managed entirely within Salesforce. The platform allows companies to revolutionise interactions with customers over the phone enabling them to accelerate productivity, become more data driven and offer a more streamlined, and personalised customer experience.

Since Octopus Investments’ initial investment in 2018, Natterbox has grown significantly, opening offices in both Sydney and Chicago. Last year, it doubled its client portfolio and expanded its relationship with several existing clients such as Fruit of the Loom, Groupon and Virgin Wines. The company also launched its Freedom interface, which gives users the ability to work from anywhere, on whichever device they want, and Natterbox for Remote Workers, which can set up new users in as little as 15 minutes.

Neil Hammerton, CEO and Co-Founder of Natterbox said: “We’re on a big growth trajectory; last year was the best one yet for Natterbox. Our updated product suite alongside the increased reliance on virtual communication, puts us in an extremely strong position for the years ahead. At the heart of our success is our dedication to working alongside our customers as a partner, and this is more important now than ever as they rapidly evolve how they engage with their customers over the phone. This funding round is validation of that commitment and it will enable us to expand our business operations and offer new, enhanced products and services that continue to drive new standards in customer experience.”

We believe there remains a large global market to go after, and Natterbox is perfectly primed to build on its successes to-date. We look forward to supporting Natterbox on the next stage of its exciting journey.”
