About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Surrey is largest at 17 percent, Hampshire follows at 14 percent, then Oxfordshire at 12 percent. By job level, CxO holds 51 percent of contacts (935), well ahead of Owner at 34 percent. CxO is over-represented: 51 percent here against 8.2 percent across the database. The spread is similar by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 34 percent, the 20 to 49 employee band follows at 16 percent, then the 10 to 19 employee band at 12 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is over-represented: 34 percent here against 14 percent across the database. The three largest are Surrey, Hampshire and Oxfordshire, together 43 percent of contacts.

935 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 1,340 (73 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 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.
