You can utilise trade data across company pages in a new “Commodity Trade” page and via Advanced Search.

Introducing a new way to navigate pages with Beauhurst. We’ve switched it up and moved our company page navigation to the sidebar and made some other tweaks to better utilise larger screen sizes creating more space for you to focus on the essential bits of information! 

Fear not, all the data you know and love is still available, just slightly to the left. This change opens up the way for future exciting changes to the company page’s content such as more data and easier ways to find the most relevant information, which we know you’ll love.

Today we are adding 25 new buzzwords to the platform to make it easier for you to track and understand trends across a variety of industries including consumer goods & services, agriculture, B2B services, construction and many more.

Buzzwords are our way of identifying and tracking interesting trends that don’t fit into a normal sector classification such as those sitting at the intersection of two sectors (e.g. Agritech), a similar common theme spanning multiple sectors (e.g. Gig Economy or FemTech) or exciting and emerging trends within a sector (Cloud computing). We will keep adding new buzzwords as new trends emerge.

There may even be some new company rankings on the cards… Stay tuned!

These can be used along side our existing 50 buzzwords across all our tracked companies in search to find the most relevant companies and are displayed on each company’s profile page.

Here is the full list of buzzwords we have added today:

• ActiveTech
• AgeTech
• AgriTech
• AssistiveTech
• Autonomous vehicles
• Cloud computing
• CollabTech
• ConTech
• EventTech
• FemTech
• FoodTech
• Franchise
• Geospatial technology
• HRTech
• Image and voice recognition
• Immersive and promenade theatre
• Intelligent mobility
• MarTech
• Organic goods
• Point-of-Sale (PoS)
• SexTech
• Smart cities
• Smart energy
• Synthetic biology
• Vegan/vegetarian

It’s now easier than ever to find the criteria you’re looking for to build your Advanced Search query! 

Criteria have now been grouped and ordered under new headings so it’s easier to find and remember where your most important criteria sit.

“Sectors” and “Buzzwords” for example, now sit under “What the company does” and “Employee count” under “People”. Whereas Name and Location sit outside of a group at the top of the list, as they’re often your first criteria for starting a query. 

If you have any feedback please don't hesitate to get in touch, and don’t forget there’s a new search bar above the list if you want to jump straight to a criteria you have in mind.

Today we have released People with Significant Control (PSC) data for all UK companies to help you run compliance checks on companies you are interested in.

Since 2016, businesses in the UK have been required to notify Companies House of all individuals and corporate entities that have significant influence or control over their operations. This can cover a range of influences including ownership, voting rights, appointments of directors and other more general control over the company’s activities which is useful for due diligence as it goes beyond basic shareholding information.

We report on each individual and the various types of control they have on the company in the “People” tab.

You might find many many companies have no person registered with significant control. This is likely because be no individual or entity that meets the minimum reporting requirements (e.g. If no shareholder owns more than a 25% stake in the company)

Today we released the Government Equalities Office gender pay gap data on all qualifying UK companies. This data is available to all Beauhurst subscribers

Deep dive into the pay distribution of a single company

Using the “People” tab on a company page you can go beyond average hourly pay and understand the difference in bonuses and gender distribution across pay quartiles too. This can help unpick some of the reasons why there may be a difference in average pay.

Every company in the UK with more than 250 full time employees has to report each year, and smaller companies can chose to report too. This means our All Company Data subscribers have gender pay gap data on over 11,000 companies!
