About this audience

By job level, CxO holds 65 percent of contacts (2,365), well ahead of Junior staff at 20 percent. CxO is over-represented: 65 percent here against 8.2 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is largest at 18 percent, the 10,000 or more employee band follows at 16 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 13 percent. The 10,000 or more employee band is over-represented: 16 percent here against 8.5 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Manufacturing is largest at 24 percent, Professional, scientific and technical follows at 21 percent, then Transport and logistics at 10 percent. Manufacturing is over-represented: 24 percent here against 11 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

1,670 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 2,400 (66 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, 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.
