About this audience

No single job function dominates: IT and telecoms is largest at 20 percent, General management follows at 16 percent, then Sales at 12 percent. IT and telecoms is over-represented: 20 percent here against 8.1 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 19 percent, the 200 to 349 employee band follows at 14 percent, then the 350 to 499 employee band at 9.3 percent. The 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is under-represented: 9 percent here against 15 percent across the database. Two groups lead by region: London at 40 percent and South East at 19 percent. London is over-represented: 40 percent here against 33 percent across the database. The three largest are London, South East and East of England, together 67 percent of contacts.

103,180 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 122,765 (66 percent) have a telephone number held, below the database figure of 72 percent. Every telephone number is screened against the TPS and CTPS each night through a licensed screening service, and carries its status and the date of that screen. We treat a screen as valid for 28 days, our own rule rather than the ICO's. Screen the numbers you are supplied yourself before calling, and again every 28 days.

This count uses one filter. The industry filter uses the SIC 2007 section (section J), and a company counts when any of its codes falls in the section. It covers named business emails at active UK companies. Individual subscribers, meaning sole traders and ordinary partnerships, are excluded by default. Emailmovers relies on legitimate interests under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f) for named business contacts.

How we count explains title matching, places and rounding. The trust page lists sources, sub-processors and the legal basis.
