Our UK dataset holds 2 676 396 records (as at 4 novembre 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.
Export of the whole industry: £269 (full price). Selections by nation, postcode area or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 178 350 businesses in the UK according to ONS, UK business: activity, size and location 2026 (enterprises in March 2026, published 24 September 2026). Section Q human health and social work (122,070) plus classes 96.02 hairdressing and other beauty treatment (52,665) and 96.04 physical well-being activities (3,615). Enterprises are counted, not sites: a provider with several homes or clinics counts once. This is the size of the market, not the size of our dataset.
The industry covers section Q of UK SIC 2007 (human health and social work activities) plus classes 96.02 (hairdressing and other beauty treatment) and 96.04 (physical well-being activities). The ONS figure counts enterprises: a group with many care homes or clinics counts once, however many locations it has.
Hairdressing and beauty treatment is a large block of its own next to health and care; barbers, beauty parlours and manicurists are coded 96.02, spas, saunas and massage salons 96.04. Both can be requested separately from the health professions where a record carries the code; otherwise by business category on request.

Health and social care providers are regulated nation by nation, and health professionals are registered individually. Some of these data are open; none of them replaces a company list.
These 15 columns are included.
The industry links very different businesses. A dental supplier needs 86.23, a care software vendor 87 and 88, a cosmetics wholesaler 96.02. Name the group in your request, not just the industry.
A care group or a dental chain is one company with many locations. The CQC directory lists locations, Companies House lists companies, and our export follows the business listings; for a mailing to each home or practice, ask for site addresses.
Where a practitioner, physiotherapist or salon owner trades as a sole trader, the business details are personal data: a letter needs the Art. 14 UK GDPR information, and email needs consent or a soft opt-in (PECR reg. 22(3)). The export contains no health data and no patient information of any kind.
Example request: we sell sterilisation equipment and are looking for dental practices (86.23) in Wales and the South West with a complete postal address, for a mailing. How many records is that, and how current are the data?

Yes, hairdressing and other beauty treatment (96.02) and physical well-being activities such as spas (96.04) belong to this industry. Where a record carries a UK SIC code (from the Companies House match, which is in progress), they can be requested separately from health and care. Otherwise we select by business category and name on request; the quote states how precise the selection is.
