About this audience

Two groups lead by job level: VP at 50 percent and Manager at 34 percent. VP is over-represented: 50 percent here against 1.5 percent across the database. No single industry dominates: Wholesale, retail and motor trade is largest at 24 percent, Manufacturing follows at 16 percent, then Professional, scientific and technical at 15 percent. Wholesale, retail and motor trade is over-represented: 24 percent here against 9.5 percent across the database. By company type, Private limited company holds 89 percent of contacts (5,660), well ahead of Public limited company at 5.5 percent. Private limited company is over-represented: 89 percent here against 74 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

3,075 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 5,270 (83 percent) have a telephone number held, above 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.
