People

With such a wide variety of information available, Dods People not only helps you find the individuals you are looking for it also helps you communicate, track and monitor your groups and favourite contacts.

The new filter options available allow you to refine your choices on a myriad of options, from gender, party and roles, to UK regions, committee memberships and other membership of organisations, Dods Poeple gives you the power to build a list based on your exact requirements. Whether you are looking for all Female MPs in the North East, or all Government Whips, Male PPSs or all special advisers, Dods People allows you to choose. Filter options are available across all our people datasets listed opposite.

Once you have refined your list, you have a number of options available using the new MyPeople functions. MyPeople allows you to group contacts, save filtered contacts, add notes, send emails and download. MyPeople will track, monitor and provide you with a comprehensive log of all activity undertaken.

Institutions
