Who is in this audience?

Three breakdowns of the 4,750 contacts, from the same count, each chosen because it differs from the database as a whole. A cell under 10 reads "under 10", and a withheld cell is held back so a smaller cell cannot be worked out from the others.

About this audience

No single job level dominates: Junior staff is largest at 23 percent, Manager follows at 18 percent, then Partner at 16 percent. Junior staff is over-represented: 23 percent here against 2.6 percent across the database. By company type, Private limited company holds 55 percent of contacts (2,605), well ahead of Royal charter company at 14 percent. Private limited company is under-represented: 55 percent here against 74 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 14 percent, Wholesale, retail and motor trade follows at 9.3 percent, then Finance and insurance at 8.3 percent. Information and communication is under-represented: 5.9 percent here against 12 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

2,220 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 3,435 (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 job role filter maps written titles to one role through the Emailmovers title dictionary, so variants of a title count together. It covers named business emails at active UK companies. Individual subscribers, meaning sole traders and ordinary partnerships, are excluded by default, which leaves out 5 contacts here. 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.
