Crawford's is an established database concentrating on the relationships between Major UK Companies and their Professional Advisers.

The database includes UK companies which are:

• Listed on the London Stock Exchange
• Listed Investment and Venture Capital Trusts
• Listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM)

Also included is a section for Unquoted Companies. The criteria for which is:

• UK based private companies with an annual turnover greater than £15m
• UK companies listed on OFEX (a facility for unquoted companies to trade shares off the LSE)
• Main UK subsidiaries of overseas companies trading in the UK (over £15m)

• Head Office address, telephone, fax, web site and e-mail
• Directors (including: Chairman; Chief Exec; MD; Finance Director; Company Secretary; Investor Relations where appropriate)
• Substantial shareholders
• techMARK companies highlighted
• Turnover
• Number of employees
• Pension Fund Name
• Professional Advisers

Each Major UK Company entry has links to the Professional Advisers retained on a long-term basis. Professional Advisers are listed by their area of specialisation as follows:

• Auditor
• Banker
• Financial adviser
• Financial PR consultant
• Insurance adviser
• Registrar
• Solicitor
• Stockbroker
• Investment Trust Managers, Unit Trust Managers

Advisers are contacted and the database updated with details received, new companies provided by the advisers are also researched and, where appropriate, added to the Crawford’s database.

The updated client list provided by the advisers can only be updated if the clients meet Crawford’s criteria for a listing in the Major UK Companies sector. This criteria is detailed above.

Furthermore the updated client list is verified by each Major UK Company along with all their contact details. Thus ensuring correct Major Company contact information and no Adviser lists a client to whom they do not supply services on a retained basis.

Clients failing to meet these criteria do not get added to Crawford’s and are not therefore included in the advisers client list.

Membership will entitle you to search the entire Crawford’s database by all available search criteria (see below). A search can be done from either a Major UK Company or Professional Adviser perspective. Once a search is complete you can View and/or Print a full company record.
