WHAT WE HOLD

What we hold for the North West

Every record includes

  • Verified company record
  • Named decision makers
  • Job titles & departments
  • Business email & telephone
  • Employee numbers & size
  • Financials where available

The North West is one of the UK’s largest business economies — from financial and professional services in central Manchester and digital, media and creative firms around MediaCity in Salford, to manufacturers in Lancashire, life sciences around Cheshire and the logistics and port businesses that serve Liverpool. Wren Data gives you direct access to these companies, with verified addresses, workforce sizes, trading status and direct contact details for the people who make the buying decisions.

Whether you are building an outbound list of finance directors in Manchester, targeting manufacturers along the M62 corridor, or enriching a CRM full of partial records from across the region, our platform lets you filter by town, postcode, sector and company size in seconds — then export a list you can act on the same day.
