    THats an excellent idea. I'll give it a go. I'm a member of a few.
    There was one place in the UK that sold them but I simply cannot remember the site.
    It was automotive dealers I was after. I'll probally end up getting someone to do a website scrape for the addresses, or yellow pages.

    Carefull when buying it from a website unless its well verified..because theres so many fake lists out there its unbleeivable, chamber of commerce and small biz association and places like that are legit, theres also the library you could check..i got a list of dental practises within greater manchester from the library lol..it was huge.and free.

    I'd have a look at Royal Mail's "Mailshots" service, I'm sure they keep a list of reputed list brokers at hand

    Your best bet is sites like marketscan.com These give you up to date data from a whole range of lists.
    Also they are screened against Uk suppression lists such as the bereavement register etc. If you want a direct quote for data work pm me and I'll see what I can do, I am a data manager for a Uk based mailing house " nova direct mail"
