What is in this UK courier, shipping and freight database?

The CSV combines public UK profiles for shipping and mailing locations, courier services, shipping companies and freight forwarders. It is a location-level prospecting database, not a list of parcel customers, consignments or licensed operators.

What one row represents

One row represents a public counter, depot, office or branch. Independent courier businesses may have one address; parcel networks and forwarders can have several. The available details may be for the location or company but do not identify a named transport or purchasing decision-maker.

Included in this file

  • Shipping and mailing services, couriers and freight-forwarding profiles represented in the live breakdown.
  • Available names, categories, addresses, nations, regions, localities, postcodes, websites, emails, telephone numbers and public links.
  • Separate counters, depots, branches or offices when their public profiles are distinct.

Not included

  • Sender or recipient details, parcel tracking, manifests, customs entries, customer mailing lists or shipment histories.
  • Guaranteed fleet, lanes, modes, rates, capacity, turnover, staff counts, named buyers or contract information.
  • Companies House status, SIC confirmation, operator authorisation or proof that every branch performs every service.

Fields available when present

  • Business or location name and public service categories
  • Address, nation, region, locality and postcode
  • Website and public profile links
  • Business email addresses
  • Telephone numbers

Need a narrower UK segment?

Filter by nation, region, town or postcode, then separate parcel counters, courier and express operators, and freight forwarders with the category and website. Verify Companies House identity, SIC codes, operating scope and branch ownership where they affect your campaign.

How SphereScout prepares this business contact CSV

SphereScout turns public business profiles into a category-and-location export. The process uses the business categories shown in the current page breakdown and keeps official registers, classifications, licences, and inspections separate from the file.

  1. Match the displayed business categories

    SphereScout selects public business profiles matching the categories shown in the current page breakdown. These labels define the file's scope but do not replace official activity codes or authorisations.

  2. Structure available public details

    SphereScout organizes the available business name, category, location, website, email, phone, and public profile fields, then normalizes and deduplicates contact values for export.

  3. Publish current counts and deliver the CSV

    SphereScout refreshes public business profiles regularly, publishes the latest collection date and current record counts, and delivers the selected records as a structured CSV.

Using business contacts in the UK

You can send relevant B2B email to a corporate subscriber such as a limited company or LLP without PECR consent, provided you identify the sender and include a valid opt-out address. A generic corporate inbox that does not identify a person is not personal data; when an address identifies a business contact, legitimate interests will often be the appropriate UK GDPR basis after the three-part test. Sole traders and some partnerships are individual subscribers under PECR and generally require consent or a valid soft opt-in, even when they publish a generic business address.

Read the ICO's B2B marketing guidance
  • Normalize company names, addresses, postcodes, websites, and email domains before matching records in bulk.
  • Use Companies House search or its API to match normalized names in bulk, corroborate candidates with address details, and retain the company number, status, and match confidence. A non-match is unresolved, not proof that the business is a sole trader.
  • Group company domains, role inboxes, and free-webmail addresses to prioritize review. These are useful signals, but none proves the subscriber's legal form.
  • For named corporate contacts, document the legitimate interest, necessity, reasonable expectations, and balancing test, then provide the required privacy information.
  • If personal data came from a public source or third party, provide the required privacy information within a reasonable period and no later than one month; if you contact the person sooner, provide it by that first communication.
  • Do not conceal the sender and include a valid, simple unsubscribe or objection route in every message.
  • Stop direct marketing after an objection and maintain reliable email and call suppression lists.
  • Before live B2B calls, screen both the Corporate Telephone Preference Service and Telephone Preference Service, as well as your own do-not-call list. Do not call registered or previously objecting numbers without valid consent, display a callable number, identify the organisation, and provide contact details when asked.

Classify the file before email outreach

Strong corporate match
EvidenceA strong Companies House match to an active company, LLP, or another corporate body, using the registered name and corroborating address details, plus evidence that the email address or domain belongs to that entity.
Email treatmentPECR consent is not required for B2B email. Identify the sender, provide an unsubscribe route, and meet UK GDPR duties whenever the record identifies a person.
Confirmed individual subscriber
EvidenceEvidence that the subscriber is a sole trader or a type of partnership treated as an individual subscriber under PECR.
Email treatmentDo not send unsolicited marketing email unless you have valid consent or every condition of the soft opt-in is met.
Unresolved
EvidenceAn ambiguous registry match, a trading-name mismatch, a webmail address, or conflicting evidence about the subscriber's legal form.
Email treatmentExclude the record from unsolicited email until its status is resolved, or apply the individual-subscriber rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a list of UK parcel carriers only?
No. It combines public profiles for shipping and mailing locations, couriers, shipping firms and freight forwarders. Use the category breakdown to select the relevant segment.
Does a row confirm the registered company or SIC code?
No. Match the public name and address to Companies House when legal identity, status or declared SIC activity matters.
Can the same network appear more than once?
Yes. Distinct counters, depots, branches and offices can have separate public profiles. Review name, website and address before account-level deduplication.
Does every UK profile include an email?
No. The live coverage figures show current email and telephone availability before purchase.
