Who is in this audience?

About this audience

By county or borough, Tyne and Wear holds 53 percent of contacts (17,365), well ahead of County Durham at 21 percent. No single company size dominates: the 1 to 5 employee band is largest at 18 percent, the 20 to 49 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 13 percent. The 1,500 to 4,999 employee band is under-represented: 11 percent here against 15 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 19 percent, Manufacturing follows at 16 percent, then Wholesale, retail and motor trade at 10 percent. Manufacturing is over-represented: 16 percent here against 11 percent across the database. The three largest are Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Northumberland, together 83 percent of contacts. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

17,185 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 22,170 (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 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 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.
