Who is in this audience?

About this audience

Two groups lead by county or borough: Greater Manchester at 43 percent and Merseyside at 13 percent. No single job function dominates: General management is largest at 25 percent, Sales follows at 22 percent, then Finance at 7.9 percent. Sales is over-represented: 22 percent here against 9.7 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is largest at 17 percent, the 200 to 349 employee band follows at 14 percent, then the 10,000 or more employee band at 13 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is under-represented: 7.7 percent here against 14 percent across the database. The three largest are Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire, together 67 percent of contacts.

7,705 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 11,945 (70 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.
