About this audience
No single job function dominates: General management is largest at 26 percent, Sales follows at 21 percent, then Operations at 7.2 percent. Sales is over-represented: 21 percent here against 9.7 percent across the database. The spread is similar by region: London is largest at 20 percent, South East follows at 15 percent, then East of England at 12 percent. London is under-represented: 20 percent here against 33 percent across the database. Two groups lead by job level: Manager at 40 percent and Director at 15 percent. Manager is over-represented: 40 percent here against 34 percent across the database. The three largest are London, South East and East of England, together 47 percent of contacts.
74,800 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 107,825 (72 percent) have a telephone number held, in line with 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 G), 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.
