About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Gloucestershire is largest at 15 percent, Devon follows at 13 percent, then City of Bristol at 12 percent. Two groups lead by job level: Owner at 45 percent and Director at 38 percent. Owner is over-represented: 45 percent here against 13 percent across the database. Two groups lead by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band at 45 percent and the 20 to 49 employee band at 14 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is over-represented: 45 percent here against 14 percent across the database. The three largest are Gloucestershire, Devon and City of Bristol, together 39 percent of contacts.

1,245 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 1,615 (68 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, 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.
