UK director search: find who runs a company

Every UK limited company names its directors in public. How to search the public record for free, and how to reach the directors of companies you want as customers.

  1. 01

    What the public record shows about every director

    Companies House names every director of every UK limited company: the name they filed, their month and year of birth, nationality, stated occupation and their other current directorships. It is free to read and always has been. For anyone selling B2B, it answers the first question outreach ever has: who actually runs this company?

  2. 02

    How to run a director search

    On the Companies House search service, type a person's name and it lists every appointment they hold. Or search a company and open its people tab to see the officers, past and present. No account, no fee. One filing tells you who signs things off, how long they have been there, and what else they run.

  3. 03

    What the public record cannot tell you

    The public record holds no email addresses and no phone numbers. A director's contact details live elsewhere: on the company's own website, and on the public profiles the director chooses to keep. That gap between the name and the inbox is where most prospecting time disappears.

  4. 04

    From a name on a filing to a conversation

    Leadistry closes that gap. Tell an agent the kinds of business and the area you want, and each lead pairs the filed director with the contact details the company itself has published, checked before they count. The public record says who. The company's own site says how to reach them.

Try it this morning

Pick ten companies you would love as customers. Look up their directors on the public record, then let an agent find the published contact details for companies like them.

Both of those stop being true within the first year. Here is the argument, and what it means for who you write to.Playbooks · 5 min readMeet a company when it is three weeks oldA three-week-old company has no accountant and no bookkeeping habit.
