About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Hertfordshire is largest at 13 percent, Surrey follows at 12 percent, then Cambridgeshire at 5.5 percent. Hertfordshire is over-represented: 13 percent here against 2.3 percent across the database. Two groups lead by region: South East at 30 percent and London at 23 percent. South East is over-represented: 30 percent here against 15 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 10,000 or more employee band is largest at 20 percent, the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band follows at 14 percent, then the 100 to 199 employee band at 14 percent. The 10,000 or more employee band is over-represented: 20 percent here against 8.5 percent across the database. The three largest are Hertfordshire, Surrey and Cambridgeshire, together 30 percent of contacts.

2,710 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 4,745 (77 percent) have a telephone number held, above 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 O), 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.
