Cold email agency for UK B2B companies

Yes, when it is aimed at corporate subscribers and handled properly. PECR's consent requirement for email marketing covers individual subscribers (consumers, sole traders and some partnerships), not limited companies, LLPs or public bodies. You must still identify yourself and give a valid opt-out address in every email. UK GDPR also applies to named work addresses, so you need a lawful basis, usually legitimate interests, plus transparency and an absolute right to object.

Not necessarily. Consent is one lawful basis; legitimate interests is the one most B2B outreach relies on. It requires a documented assessment showing the outreach is relevant to the person's role, necessary for your purpose and balanced against their interests. If they object, you must stop, and we suppress them everywhere.

Under PECR, sole traders and some partnerships are treated as individual subscribers, so emailing them requires prior consent. Because their addresses look like any other business address, the safest approach is to filter by company type and leave them out of cold campaigns unless they have opted in.

Who you are, why you are contacting them, roughly where their details came from, a link to your privacy notice and a simple way to opt out. UK GDPR requires that privacy information at the latest when you first communicate with someone whose data you did not collect from them directly. We build this into the first email and the signature without making it read like a legal notice.

Among other things, it brings the maximum fines for PECR breaches up to UK GDPR levels and clarifies that direct marketing can be a legitimate interest. Its provisions are coming into force in stages, so check the current position, but the direction is clear: compliant B2B outreach stays possible and careless outreach gets more expensive.

Yes, as separate segments. EU countries implement the ePrivacy rules differently. Germany, for example, is much stricter about B2B cold email than the UK. We keep per-country lists and compliance notes rather than applying UK rules to Europe. Our Paris MedTech engagement ran across France and other European markets.

Same engine, same price. Our cold email outreach service (/services/cold-email-outreach) describes the general offer. This page covers what the UK adds: PECR's corporate-subscriber rule, UK GDPR documentation, Microsoft 365-heavy inboxes and British-English copy.

Usually Apollo or Clay for data and Smartlead or Instantly for sending. UK coverage is good but thinner than the US, so we verify more and enrich from several sources. For tool choices, see Apollo vs Smartlead (/compare/apollo-vs-smartlead), Smartlead pricing (/compare/smartlead-pricing) and Apollo alternatives (/compare/apollo-alternatives).
