The UK Business and Consumer Universe by Blue Sheep

What makes the UK Business and Consumer Universe so special?

UK data providers obtain and validate their data using different collection methods. Depending upon those methods, how they validate the data, the breadth of their coverage, and the data they hold can differ massively. Relying on one provider, or even several providers, will not guarantee an accurate and trustworthy view for data analysis, cleansing or insight.

To highlight this point, the Venn diagram below compares the data from five of our 25 data suppliers. Only 43,851 records out of the 4 million supplied by these five data suppliers are present in all databases!

Data Universe aggregates across multiple sources

By aggregating 25 data suppliers into one UK Business and Consumer Universe, Blue Sheep is therefore able to offer the most comprehensive matching, cleansing, enhancement and insight services for our clients.

Comprehensive UK Data Compiled for both B2B, B2C and B2B2C

The UK Business and Consumer Universe can be used as one file for analysis of both business and consumer data, or it can be split out for solely B2B or solely B2C requirements. Both have unrivalled breadth of data, both aggregate many sources and both form the basis of all our data services:
