Sources & method
A person page brings together what the directory’s institution pages say about one person: names in Elucidate’s researched profiles, and individuals that Companies House lists for a matched company.
The sources give names, not identifiers. Mentions count as one person when the names match and the institutions are in one corporate group, share a distinctive word in their names, or the name has four or more words. Other people with the same name are listed separately.
Elucidate holds no dates of birth, addresses, nationalities or contact details for the people in the directory.
