About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Westminster is largest at 23 percent, Camden follows at 10 percent, then City of London at 8.9 percent. The spread is similar by job function: General management is largest at 22 percent, Sales follows at 15 percent, then Finance at 9.2 percent. Sales is over-represented: 15 percent here against 9.7 percent across the database. By company size the audience is also spread out: the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is largest at 19 percent, the 200 to 349 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 1 to 5 employee band at 12 percent. The 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is over-represented: 19 percent here against 15 percent across the database. The three largest are Westminster, Camden and City of London, together 42 percent of contacts.

14,350 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 19,865 (67 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.
