About this audience

Two groups lead by county or borough: Hertfordshire at 34 percent and Cambridgeshire at 20 percent. By company type, Private limited company holds 83 percent of contacts (14,915), well ahead of Public limited company at 17 percent. Public limited company is over-represented: 17 percent here against 7.4 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 10,000 or more employee band is largest at 19 percent, the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band follows at 14 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 13 percent. The 10,000 or more employee band is over-represented: 19 percent here against 8.5 percent across the database. The three largest are Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex, together 69 percent of contacts.

8,445 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 11,395 (64 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 combines two filters. The industry filter uses the SIC 2007 section (section G), and a company counts when any of its codes falls in the section. The region filter comes from the ONS Postcode Directory. 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.
