Cold email agencies in the UK

Ranked by the evidence on record, the first three are SalesAR (UK), Sopro (Brighton, UK) and mgsh (London, UK, from $10,000 a month). Results depend as much on list quality and sending infrastructure as on copy, so ask who owns the domains, inboxes and data when the engagement ends. UK buyers expect short, plain emails, British spelling and an easy way to say no. Most tech and financial services buyers sit in London, while manufacturing buyers sit in the Midlands and the North. One of the 10 publishes a monthly minimum: mgsh at $10,000. 0 offer pay-per-meeting pricing and 1 offers pay-per-lead; the rest work on a retainer or do not say. Besides cold email, the services most often offered here are appointment setting, intent data and cold calling. 4 build on Clay, 0 work inside HubSpot and 6 use their own or undisclosed tools. 4 have a Clutch or G2 rating on file with the date it was read. Before signing, ask for a sample sequence, the definition of a qualified meeting and who owns the domains and data afterward.
