Setting the Standard for Trusted UK B2B Data
WIth Steve Forsdick - Business Development Director, MArket Location
B2B data has never been more accessible yet trust in data quality has never been more fragmented. As businesses scale, the challenge is no longer access to data, but knowing which data can be relied upon to drive revenue, protect brand reputation and support long-term operations.
This session explores what trusted UK B2B data really means in practice and why it has become a critical part of modern business infrastructure. Rather than focusing on the risks of poor-quality data alone, the session sets a clearer benchmark for what good looks like, from verification and governance through to compliance and commercial outcomes.
Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how high-quality, verified data underpins performance across sales, marketing and operations, and why it is essential for enabling technologies such as AI to function effectively. The session will examine how organisations can move from reactive data decisions towards a more structured, standards-led approach that scales with growth.
Through real-world examples, the session demonstrates how trusted data reduces operational risk, improves return on investment, and creates a more resilient foundation for business decision-making in the UK market.
