About this audience

By postcode area, RG1 (Reading) holds 57 percent of contacts (6,535), well ahead of RG6 (Reading) at 17 percent. Two groups lead by industry: Professional, scientific and technical at 32 percent and Information and communication at 28 percent. Information and communication is over-represented: 28 percent here against 12 percent across the database. No single company size dominates: the 5,000 to 9,999 employee band is largest at 19 percent, the 1,500 to 4,999 employee band follows at 15 percent, then the 200 to 349 employee band at 13 percent. The 5,000 to 9,999 employee band is over-represented: 19 percent here against 5.3 percent across the database. A company can hold several SIC codes, so industry shares overlap and can add to more than 100 percent.

4,770 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 7,575 (66 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 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, 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.
