Our Accreditations
Compliance
Is B2B cold email legal in the UK?
Yes. B2B cold email is legal in the UK under PECR, provided three conditions are met: the recipient is a corporate entity, the email is relevant to their business role or function, and the sender is clearly identifiable.
Every Market Location email record meets all three conditions. Each address belongs to a confirmed trading business, is attached to a role-based contact, and has been verified for third-party communications. Nothing is scraped or inferred – every record is confirmed.

B2B Data you can trust
Human Verification of every record
Market Location operates a 70-seat UK call centre making over 2 million verification calls annually. Every business is contacted to confirm trading status and contact details – and told why their information is being held. Human verification is what makes our compliance meaningful, not just documented.
CTPS/TPS suppression as standard
Every telemarketing extract is screened against the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) and Telephone Preference Service (TPS) prior to delivery. Records flagged as suppressible are excluded or clearly identified – protecting clients from compliance risk on outbound calls.
ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 certified
Market Location holds ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 certifications, independently verified standards covering privacy information management and information security. We are also Cyber Essentials certified, PCI DSS compliant and FSQS registered.
