UK Consumer File


Licensed and enhanced by UKChanges as a replacement for the Electoral Roll data, the UK Consumer File is one of the most comprehensive national databases available, holding contact addresses for the majority of the UK adult population.

Compiled from a variety of sources, including the latest ER data, plus transactional information and campaign response details, the key benefit of the UK Consumer File is the currency and accuracy of the records it contains. With a programme of ongoing verification and regular updates, the file provides one of the most complete overviews of the UK population.

A valuable data cleaning tool, the UK Consumer File will help reduce wastage and improve campaign performance by verifying and enhancing contact details of customers and prospects. The file can also be used to supplement existing data, offering a number of geographic selections that enable users to identify target areas and extract new prospect details for mailing or calling activities.

Where no telephone number is available for the supplied individual, Neighbours will identify properties adjacent to the supplied address, providing names and addresses of neighbours with telephone numbers, where available.
