InfoUSA’s UK subsidiary InfoUK.com – the company set to build a database of every UK business – has recruited industry ‘big-hitter’ Richard Lloyd as general manager and started trading from its Old Trafford base.

InfoUSA hit the headlines on How-Do last year with its ambitious plans to recruit 50 staff for the new standalone InfoUK.com Manchester business.

This ambition is apparently well on the way to becoming a reality and the firm is aiming to launch its ‘UK Business Database’ later this year.

More details of this became clear in a statement released to How-Do from InfoUSA’s head office in Nebraska yesterday.

It stated: “The UK Business Database is aimed at meeting the needs of list brokers, agencies and SMEs and will offer unrivalled flexibility in its range of business list options. 

“It will initially provide the contact names and addresses of over 2.5 million actively trading businesses along with over 3million business contacts and can easily be sorted by industry sector, size of business, and geography.”

A new look for the UK
InfoUK.com’s new general manager Lloyd will be the vanguard of this project, marshalling his impressively large team and ensuring that the mammoth task of creating and constantly updating the database is on track.

According to his American bosses, he is the right man for the daunting project, boasting considerable pedigree in the business information sector after holding senior roles at Experian (where he was head of B2B) and Dun & Bradstreet.

Vin Gupta, CEO of NASDAQ-listed infoUSA, said of his new recruit: “Richard is a business to business database specialist with over twenty years experience in the application of data in business to business marketing.

“He has exactly the right experience, expertise and commercial acumen to ensure infoUK.COM becomes a major player in the business list market and will drive the successful launch of infoUK.com’s UK Business Database.”

InfoUSA is one of the leading ‘information solutions’ companies in the States and enjoys a huge client list of approaching four million customers. InfoUK.com is based at City Point on Chester Road.
