# Marbl Codes

> Marbl Codes is a digital consultancy and product studio founded by Richard Bland, based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, UK. We build intelligence tools, voice assistants, and digital platforms for businesses. Trading name of MEM Digital Ltd (Company 13753194, VAT GB400325657). "Code is the new marble" - building digital foundations with care, durability, and long-term responsibility.

## What Marbl Codes does — the four pillars

- **Foundations** — Bespoke websites and web platforms. The digital ground a brand stands on.
- **Structures** — Apps, portals, and dashboards. The systems that organise work.
- **Augments** — AI agents, automations, and integrations. The intelligent layer that extends what a team can do.
- **Stewardship** — Managed hosting, monitoring, and ongoing partnership. Care that continues long after launch.

We are UK GDPR compliant, privacy-first, edge-hosted on Cloudflare, and small enough to know each client by name.
