About this audience

No single county or borough dominates: Surrey is largest at 18 percent, Hampshire follows at 14 percent, then Kent at 10 percent. By company type, Private limited company holds 80 percent of contacts (194,635), well ahead of Public limited company at 5.2 percent. Private limited company is over-represented: 80 percent here against 74 percent across the database. 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 11 percent. The three largest are Surrey, Hampshire and Kent, together 41 percent of contacts.

116,950 of the contacts are emailable, meaning a named email scoring 70 or more at a corporate subscriber. 172,825 (71 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 55 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.
