The largest sub-industry is non-life insurance with 3,487 companies, which is where most insurance & pensions outbound in the UK ends up pointed. The tail below it is usually less contested and worth a separate sequence.
Geographically it concentrates in London (2,455 companies), followed by Grantham, Leeds, Birmingham. If your reps work by territory, that split is the fastest way to divide the list.
By headcount, 753 are micro companies of 1–9 people and 122 sit in the 10–249 range — usually the sweet spot for outbound, since they are large enough to have a budget holder and small enough that the decision maker answers.
