About this audience

Two groups lead by postcode area: CH1 (Chester) at 44 percent and CH4 at 28 percent. No single company size dominates: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 14 percent, the 200 to 349 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 1,000 to 1,499 employee band at 12 percent. The 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is under-represented: 4 percent here against 15 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Information and communication is largest at 21 percent, Professional, scientific and technical follows at 13 percent, then Business support services at 12 percent. Information and communication is over-represented: 21 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.

1,820 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 2,285 (73 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 place filter uses the built-up area 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. 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.
