Where can I buy a list of UK IT companies with the owner's or director's email?
You can buy it here. We hold 8,666 UK IT support, IT consultancy and computer services firms. 7,479 of them name a person, usually the director or owner, and 3,838 come with that person's own email address. Every record has a postal address and a phone number.
Ask for a free count and sample records first. You'll see which of the three types fit your offer before you pay anything.
What you get when you buy IT companies data
One record is one IT business at its trading address. For a support firm that's usually an office or unit; for a consultant it is often a home address. The table shows how many of the 8,666 records carry each way in.
| Channel | Records with it | Share | Coverage | What it means for IT companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post | 8,666 | 100% | Strong | Every record has an address. A letter stands out to IT firms precisely because so little of their sales post is on paper. |
| Phone | 8,666 | 100% | Strong | Every record has a number. Support firms answer calls all day, but the first voice is often a help desk, not the boss. Ask for the director by name. |
| Named contact | 7,479 | 86% | Strong | Close to nine in ten records name someone, almost always the person who owns or runs the business. |
| Email | 3,838 | 44% | Strong | More than four in ten records include the named person's own email. That's enough for an email-only order to stand on its own. |
| General email | 2,968 | 34% | Usable, with care | Usually support@, help@ or info@. At an IT firm that inbox often feeds a ticket system, so a sales email there may get logged as a fault. |
Records with each contact channel (8,666 IT companies in all)
Expect a lot of very small businesses. Plenty of IT consultancies are one director working from home, and the record is the company's registered or trading address. That's fine for post and email, but it means there's no office, no receptionist and no purchasing team: the person who picks up is the whole company.
A support firm with branches in two towns can appear twice. If you only want to pitch each business once, say so when you ask for a count.
The types of IT companies you can choose from
Support firms look after other businesses' systems on contract. They buy tools, hardware, connectivity and software to resell, and they hire. Consultants advise on projects and are often one or two people, so they buy for themselves, not for a team. Computer services is a looser mix of firms that do some of both, plus repairs and installs. Take support firms if you sell anything they resell or run for clients. Take consultants if your offer suits a one-person business, such as insurance, accounting or a co-working desk. Add computer services when you need the extra reach and can live with a less tidy fit.
| Type | Records | Phone numbers | Named contacts | Named emails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT support and managed service firms (MSPs) | 4,021 | 4,021 | 3,544 | 1,894 |
| IT consultants and consultancies | 3,306 | 3,306 | 2,815 | 1,397 |
| General computer services firms | 1,339 | 1,339 | 1,120 | 547 |
Who the named contacts are
In most IT firms the named contact is the founder: a director who still does technical work and also decides what the business buys. In the larger support firms you may find an operations or service delivery manager who chooses tools, while the director signs off contracts. For one-person consultancies there is no one else to ask for.
- Managing director
- Director
- Owner or founder
- Technical director
- Operations manager
- Service delivery manager
Bear in mind that IT firms are sellers too. Their directors hear from distributors, software vendors and recruiters every week. A short, specific note to the named director, about one problem their kind of firm has, gets further than a general pitch to the company.
Selections worth paying for with IT companies
Some ways of cutting IT companies data change what you get a great deal. Others barely move it, because so many firms are small.
| Select by | For IT companies | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Type of business | Worth it | The most useful choice on this list. Support firms and consultants buy different things, so pick the type before anything else. |
| Number of employees | Worth it | Separates the one-person consultancies from support firms with a help desk and engineers. Pick bands that can afford what you sell. |
| Records with an email only | Worth it | With 3,838 named emails across the three types, an email-only order is a real list, not a remnant. |
| Region or county | Sometimes | Worth it if you visit, host events or sell a local service. Much IT work is done remotely, so many buyers take the whole UK. |
| Job title | Sometimes | Helps in the bigger support firms, where an operations manager may choose tools. In small firms the director is the only contact anyway. |
| Turnover | Rarely needed | Staff numbers say more about the size of an IT firm than turnover does, and are easier to match to your offer. |
| Independents or groups | Rarely needed | Few IT firms have more than one site, so this selection removes very little. |
How much does IT companies data cost?

Price per 1,000 records by order size (excluding VAT)
Order sizes near a band edge are worth a second look. Support firms alone (4,021 records) cost £1,085.67. Adding the 1,339 computer services firms takes the order past 5,000, so it costs £1,313.20 in total: a lower rate on every record for the extra slice. The named-email-only slice of all three types (3,838 records) is £1,036.26.
Licence, accuracy, screening and delivery
The 12-month licence matters here because IT firms rarely buy on the first contact. Most buyers in this sector plan a sequence: a letter, a call, then an email weeks later. One purchase covers all of it for the year. The phone screening lasts 28 days from delivery, so screen the numbers again before a later calling round. If an email bounces or a letter comes back, keep the evidence: the accuracy guarantee runs on it.

The legal-status mix is unusually tidy for IT. The ONS figures above show that almost every IT workplace in these two SIC codes belongs to a company, and very few to sole traders or partnerships. Under PECR you can send marketing emails to companies without prior consent, as long as you say who you are and give a working way to opt out. The ICO also advises keeping a do-not-email list of companies that object. The few sole traders still need consent before you email them.
A one-person limited company is still a company for email purposes, but its director is still a person under UK GDPR. When you get someone's details from a list, you must give them privacy information within a reasonable period and no later than one month, or at your first contact if that's sooner. That includes where you got their details. A short line in your first message covers it.
Before you buy IT companies data: questions to settle
- Support firms, consultants, computer services, or a mix? Decide what each type would buy from you before you ask for a count.
- What's the smallest firm worth your time? Set an employee band so one-person consultancies don't fill the list if they can't afford you.
- Do you want each firm once, or each branch of the bigger support firms?
- Will your first touch be email? If so, the named-email slice may be all you need, and costs less overall.
- Who are you writing to: the director, or an operations manager in larger support firms?
- What will make your message different from the vendor and recruiter approaches these directors get every week?
Questions about buying IT companies data
Where can I buy a list of UK IT companies with the owner's or director's email?
You can buy it here. We hold 8,666 UK IT support, IT consultancy and computer services firms. 7,479 of them name a person, usually the director or owner, and 3,838 come with that person's own email address. Every record has a postal address and a phone number.
Ask for a free count and sample records first. You'll see which of the three types fit your offer before you pay anything.
Can I buy only managed service providers, without the one-person IT consultants?
Yes. IT support and managed service firms are held as their own type, 4,021 records, so you can take them alone. Add an employee size band if you want only firms with a team.
How much does a list of UK IT consultants cost?
The 3,306 IT consultants we hold cost £892.62 excluding VAT for the whole set, at £270 per 1,000. A smaller area or size selection costs less in total but may fall into a higher band rate.
Will I get the director's own email or just support@?
Both kinds are held separately. 3,838 records have the named contact's own email, usually the director's. General inboxes such as support@ are listed apart, so you can leave them out.
Can I email IT companies without their consent?
Almost all of them are limited companies, and PECR lets you email companies without prior consent if you identify yourself and offer an opt-out. Sole traders are the exception. Your free sample shows which records those are.
