Code Updates: Company House Additions

Firstly, I hope you are finding the Companies House module useful and we appreciate the ongoing feedback users provide us. As you know we are continually developing this resource, both improving existing metrics and adding additional functionality.

As part of this process we have made some further additions to the Companies House Module that are available now.

Speed
Given the sheer scale of the data set and analytics that are used for each search, we are continually striving to improve the speed in which results are generated and users ability to navigate between results pages. 

Having enlisted some external support and made some changes to our database construction we have seen some improvements in speed. We hope to make further strides in a few months to improve it even further. 

Wealth Filters
To compliment the wealth creating and current/non-current role filters we have now launched our Pyro Wealth Filter ©. This enables users to search by postcode / town for prospects who demonstrate emerging, mass affluent or high net worth + characteristics through their director / ownership roles.

The analysis used to derive this is complex and we will be constantly reviewing and improving the algorithms that are used to provide even greater insight. Additional exciting developments are planned for this feature in 2025! 

Clarification on missing data
Where a company doesn't report turnover or profits, results now show NR (not reported) to provide reassurance this data is not available. Additional tool tips on results have also been created, for example showing that dividends are not applicable to directors (unless of course they are also a shareholder!). 

Director Salaries
Following the culmination of a large project, we are now utilising additional information sources within companies house / annual reports to enhance the accuracy of director salaries and where reported, actual director salary. Supported through the construction of additional modeling, estimated / actual director remuneration packages will be enhanced. Please note the enhanced data is being rolled over over the course of the next few months and has already started appearing on Code. 

Data Enhancements
Enhancements have been made to our data / algorithms that better capture remuneration in smaller companies and the impact that shorter time in service has upon pay / bonuses. 

Search Functionality
Prior to commencing your search you now can easily choose between a director or person of significant control (owner) search. Simply select the applicable radio button and hit search!

Upcoming
Company search and Pyro company insights are coming soon…watch this space!!!

As always, thanks for your ongoing support and feedback and we look forward to continuing to enhance the Companies House module over the coming months.

Thanks,
Jon
