Who is in this audience?

About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Westminster is largest at 23 percent, City of London follows at 23 percent, then Camden at 10 percent. The spread is similar by company size: the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is largest at 16 percent, the 10,000 or more employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 100 to 199 employee band at 11 percent. The 1 to 5 employee band is under-represented: 9.3 percent here against 14 percent across the database. By industry the audience is also spread out: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 20 percent, Information and communication follows at 14 percent, then Finance and insurance at 13 percent. Manufacturing is under-represented: 3.9 percent here against 11 percent across the database. The three largest are Westminster, City of London and Camden, together 57 percent of contacts. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

226,635 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 358,410 (69 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 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 480 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.
