About this audience

Two groups lead by county or borough: Greater Manchester at 37 percent and Lancashire at 17 percent. By job level, Owner holds 58 percent of contacts (2,620), well ahead of Director at 34 percent. Owner is over-represented: 58 percent here against 13 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 29 percent, the 100 to 199 employee band follows at 16 percent, then the 20 to 49 employee band at 14 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is over-represented: 29 percent here against 14 percent across the database. The three largest are Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside, together 68 percent of contacts.

915 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 2,925 (65 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.
