Raw data comes typically from public domain sources such as Companies House and business directories. Detailed information is then gathered daily, through ongoing telephone validation carried out by trained researchers. They verify the company information (size, business activity, site status etc) and names, job titles and job functions of key senior contacts. Where actual turnover and employee size are not known, a profiled or "modelled" value is applied.
Re-verification is carried out at pre-determined regular intervals, depending on the size of the company. The largest are contacted every three months.
Updates and cleaning (gone-aways and notified changes of address/contact name) are carried out constantly.
