Who is in this audience?

Three breakdowns of the 5,925 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

By job level, Company secretary holds 76 percent of contacts (4,480), well ahead of Director at 9 percent. Company secretary is over-represented: 76 percent here against 0.3 percent across the database. Two groups lead by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band at 38 percent and the 20 to 49 employee band at 16 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is over-represented: 38 percent here against 14 percent across the database. By company type, Private limited company holds 85 percent of contacts (5,055), well ahead of Private company limited by guarantee at 5.9 percent. Private limited company is over-represented: 85 percent here against 74 percent across the database.

710 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 3,840 (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 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. 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.
