Business Directories


There are some very comprehensive business directories on the Internet. Use them in the same way you would use Yellow Pages, with the added advantage of keyword searching. No more hours leafing through the pages of huge tomes. If you want specifically Welsh businesses try our page of Suppliers in Wales.

Kompass UK
Search the database of 180,000 UK companies. As a guest you can view basic details of companies which fit your criteria - name, location, phone numbers - but you would have to register and pay for more detailed information.

Yellow Pages
Electronic version of BT Yellow Pages, listing contact details of 1.6 million UK businesses. Free to use, but as with paper Yellow Pages, it will cost you to advertise.
