About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Hertfordshire is largest at 27 percent, Essex follows at 19 percent, then Cambridgeshire at 18 percent. The spread is similar by company size: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 17 percent, the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band follows at 16 percent, then the 20 to 49 employee band at 13 percent. By industry the audience is also spread out: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 23 percent, Manufacturing follows at 15 percent, then Wholesale, retail and motor trade at 13 percent. Wholesale, retail and motor trade is over-represented: 13 percent here against 9.5 percent across the database. The three largest are Hertfordshire, Essex and Cambridgeshire, together 64 percent of contacts. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

65,915 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 96,700 (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 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 15 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.
