About this audience

By job level, Partner holds 65 percent of contacts (3,490), well ahead of CxO at 22 percent. Partner is over-represented: 65 percent here against 6.8 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 200 to 349 employee band is largest at 14 percent, the 20 to 49 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 100 to 199 employee band at 13 percent. The 10,000 or more employee band is under-represented: 4.6 percent here against 8.5 percent across the database. By company type, Private limited company holds 84 percent of contacts (4,545), well ahead of Public limited company at 5.9 percent. Private limited company is over-represented: 84 percent here against 74 percent across the database.

3,740 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 3,890 (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.
