Who is in this audience?
Three breakdowns of the 130,260 contacts, from the same count, each chosen because it differs from the database as a whole. A cell under 10 reads "under 10", and a withheld cell is held back so a smaller cell cannot be worked out from the others.

About this audience
Two groups lead by county or borough: Greater Manchester at 44 percent and Merseyside at 16 percent. No single company size dominates: the 200 to 349 employee band is largest at 13 percent, the 100 to 199 employee band follows at 13 percent, then the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band at 12 percent. The 100 to 199 employee band is over-represented: 13 percent here against 10 percent across the database. The spread is similar by industry: Professional, scientific and technical is largest at 20 percent, Wholesale, retail and motor trade follows at 13 percent, then Manufacturing 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 Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire, together 72 percent of contacts. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.
69,045 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 94,515 (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 20 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.
