About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Westminster is largest at 23 percent, City of London follows at 16 percent, then Camden at 11 percent. Two groups lead by job level: Owner at 49 percent and CxO at 40 percent. Owner is over-represented: 49 percent here against 13 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 100 to 199 employee band is largest at 22 percent, the 1 to 5 employee band follows at 14 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 12 percent. The 100 to 199 employee band is over-represented: 22 percent here against 10 percent across the database. The three largest are Westminster, City of London and Camden, together 49 percent of contacts.

2,495 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 3,840 (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 job role filter maps written titles to one role through the Emailmovers title dictionary, so variants of a title count together. 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.
