About The Local Data Company

What our customers are saying

The Local Data Company was founded in 2003 by two brothers, Barnaby and Alex Oswald, with the sole intention of being the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of retail and leisure data in the UK and Ireland. Our research team consists of over 50, located throughout the UK, in order to maintain 480,000+ (398,219 retail and leisure) locations and support our customers across the UK and beyond.

Meet our people

We are all passionate about what we do, and the contribution we make to a diverse group of industries in providing comprehensive insight across the UK. As a team our strength lies in the diversity of backgrounds we all have, from large data providers to professional photographers and large corporates to the retail/leisure industry itself. Meet our people here.

Our promise to our customers

We will keep our costs and environmental impact to a minimum by having over 75% of our workforce in the field and utilising wireless technologies. We will always look to improve on what we do and are committed to you getting the most out of our products and services.

How are we different?

	We believe in delivering ‘local knowledge nationally’. That’s why we have a small office in London but an army of people across the country delivering valuable insight through researching every street in 705 town centres and every multiple retailer in over 1,400 towns.
	We are constantly developing and streamlining our methods for capturing our retail data and imagery to increase efficiency and quality and ensuring you receive the very best results.
	We understand the needs of both small and larger companies and that is why we offer the highest levels of flexibility in our products. Our data can be cut every which way, unlike larger providers, and no amount of data is too small. From individual towns to specific categories we can cater to your needs.
