About this audience

By job level, Owner holds 56 percent of contacts (4,435), well ahead of Manager at 39 percent. Owner is over-represented: 56 percent here against 13 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 200 to 349 employee band is largest at 20 percent, the 350 to 499 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band at 11 percent. The 350 to 499 employee band is over-represented: 13 percent here against 3.8 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Information and communication is largest at 34 percent, Manufacturing follows at 14 percent, then Professional, scientific and technical at 14 percent. Information and communication is over-represented: 34 percent here against 12 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

3,025 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 6,535 (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. 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.
