Visibility & Rich List Strategy
University of Derby Top 200 Businesses 2025 is the actionable free list. Top 4 must-do 2026 activations: NEC Classic Motor Show + Donington BSB + Chatsworth + Cadwell BSB.
Owner: Ade Whetton, DoctoriumGP Purpose: Show exactly which charity galas, sponsorship slots, sporting boxes, country shows, rich lists and media outlets put DoctoriumGP's men's longevity offer in front of wealthy owner-operator male MDs (£2m–£10m turnover, 45–65, within 45 minutes of Derby). Scope: DE / NG / ST / LE / part of S postcodes. Last refreshed: April 2026.
Executive summary
Three families of intelligence cover the East Midlands HNW segment:
- Pre-baked lists — University of Derby Top 200 (the single most useful free list in this region), Insider Midlands Rich List (annual paid magazine, 50 names + 50 family businesses), Sunday Times Rich List (Derbyshire/East Mids subset), and the East Midlands Top 500 (DMU + EM Chamber).
- Live venues & events — Chatsworth Country Fair, Donington Park BTCC, Uttoxeter Racecourse Gentlemen's Day, Pride Park / City Ground / Trent Bridge corporate boxes, and the YMCA Derbyshire Christmas Ball / Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity events.
- Network sponsorship plays — Marketing Derby Bondholders (350-strong, the real Derby business club), East Midlands Chamber Connect breakfasts, Family Business United, and the Insider Made in the Midlands awards circuit.
Top recommendation: Marketing Derby Bondholders membership + Chatsworth Country Fair sponsorship + a Pride Park executive box for 4–6 fixtures + an Insider Made in the Midlands sponsor slot is the highest-leverage four-way visibility quartet for £15–25k of total spend, projected at ~25–40 consult bookings in year one. Detail in Section I.
A. Pre-existing Rich Lists & Power Lists
| List | Frequency | Coverage | Access | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Derby Top 200 | Annual | All active Derby/Derbyshire businesses by turnover | FREE — public website | Direct outreach prospect list (most useful single source) |
| Insider Midlands Rich List | Annual (Nov) | Top 50 wealthiest individuals in Midlands; 11 billionaires | Magazine subscription (£135/yr Midlands Business Insider) | Top-of-funnel high-net-worth identification |
| Sunday Times Rich List — Derbyshire subset | Annual (May) | UK's wealthiest with Derbyshire residence/business | Free regional summaries; full list paywalled | Aspirational ceiling — not direct prospects but useful for media name-drops |
| East Midlands Top 500 | Annual | Best-performing companies across DE/NG/LE | Free via EM Chamber + DMU | Wider net than Top 200 |
| Insider Top 200 Most Influential | Annual | Midlands-wide influence, not strict turnover | Insider Media paid | Cross-reference with Top 200 |
| Derby Telegraph "Power 50" | Does not currently exist as a discrete list. Derbyshire-wide rich list coverage rolled into derbyshiretimes.co.uk and derbyworld.co.uk regional articles | — | Use Derbyshire Times Rich List articles + University of Derby Top 200 as substitute | |
| Nottingham Post Power List | No standing annual; NottinghamWorld republishes Insider data | Free | Regional press summaries | |
| Endole Power 500 (East Midlands) | No discrete "East Midlands Power 500" — Endole publishes a national index. East Midlands Top 500 compiled by DMU + EM Chamber is the regional analogue | Mixed | Endole subscription £29–199/mo for full company data + director records |
Representative Sunday Times Rich List 2024–25 entries with Derbyshire / East Midlands connection:
- Mike Ashley — Sports Direct (Shirebrook) — £3.12bn (2025). Richest in East Mids.
- John Bloor — Bloor Homes / Triumph Motorcycles (Swadlincote) — £3.10bn. (Derbyshire-resident.)
- Lord Bamford — JCB (Staffs / Rocester) — £7.65bn. Just outside DE postcode but in 45-min radius.
- David Clowes — Clowes Developments / Derby County FC owner — £360m.
- Melvyn Morris — King.com investor, ex-Derby County chairman — £312m.
- The Duke of Devonshire — Chatsworth Estate — £910m.
- Jessica Mills — MHR (Oakham) — £221m. New entry 2025.

Verdict for prospecting
The University of Derby Top 200 is the most actionable. It's free, directly turnover-ranked, and the entries in positions 80–200 are exactly the £2–10m-turnover owner-operators DoctoriumGP wants. Action: pull the 2025 list, filter for owner-operator structure, and cross-reference with Companies House for director age (filter 45–65) and male PSCs.

Highest-leverage charity plays:

- MoRunning Nottingham (Movember) — perfect thematic alignment ("men's health"), Nov 2026, £2.5k–7.5k sponsorship. (source)
- YMCA Derbyshire Christmas Ball — Derby civic establishment, £3–5k sponsor, dense Marketing Derby Bondholder presence. (source)
Note on accuracy: Where I have published evidence of the specific tier price, I cite. Where the tier is "estimated," it's modelled from comparable East Midlands gala benchmarks (table of 10 typically £750–1,500 outside London; sponsor tiers £1k Bronze / £3k Silver / £5k Gold / £10k Headline).

Single best play: Uttoxeter Racecourse Gentlemen's Day
The name alone ("Gentlemen's Day") is the demographic. Sponsor a race named-trophy at £3–7k tier and you get the trophy presentation moment, on-course branding, hospitality table, and direct introduction to a course full of 50+ male MDs in suits. Combined with a small "Gemma Lewis Health Quick Check" pop-up in a sponsor area = warm leads on the day.

Conversion expected ~10–25 paid bookings off the back of the weekend.

H. Direct Rich-List Extraction Strategy — "Top 200 Wealthy Men in DE+NG+ST+LE"
A high-confidence list is built by intersection, not single-source. The recommended workflow:
Step 1 — Anchor list
Pull University of Derby Top 200 (2025) from derby.ac.uk. Free, definitive turnover ranking. Filter to ranks 50–200 (the £2–10m sweet spot is roughly here).
Step 2 — Director enrichment
For each company in step 1, hit Companies House (free) at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk — extract: - All current PSCs (Persons of Significant Control) - Directors with date of birth (Companies House shows month/year only — enough for age 45–65 filter) - Director gender (extract from forename, ~95% accurate for this segment)
Step 3 — Wealth amplifier
Cross-reference with: - Insider Midlands Rich List 2025 (source) — top 50 + 50 family businesses. - Sunday Times Rich List Derbyshire subset — published as derbyshiretimes.co.uk article each May. - Endole Insight or BvD FAME — paid (£29–199/mo Endole; FAME £6k+/yr) — for company financial detail (gross profit, director remuneration). Endole is sufficient for this exercise.
Step 4 — Trustee / philanthropic signal
Charity Commission register (register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk) — for each director identified, search trusteeships. A director who's a trustee of Treetops, DBHC, Derbyshire Wildlife, YMCA Derbyshire is a confirmed civic-engaged HNW.
Step 5 — Spatial signal
Land Registry "Price Paid" data (free) — for property transactions. Combined with Companies House director addresses (where filed), property values £750k+ = additional wealth signal.
Step 6 — Hospitality holder signal
Most Pride Park / City Ground / Trent Bridge / Donington box-holders aren't published, but: - Marketing Derby Bondholder list (marketingderby.co.uk/our-bondholders) is public — 350 named Derby businesses with logos - East Midlands Chamber Business Awards finalist lists are public - Insider Made in the Midlands shortlists public - Family Business United members semi-public
Step 7 — LinkedIn validation
Sales Navigator filter: Title = MD / Founder / Owner / CEO; Headcount = 10–100; Postcode within DE / NG / ST / LE / S; Years in role 5+ = approximately 2,500–4,000 high-confidence matches.
Output
A 200-row CSV with: Name | Company | Position | Age band (PSC DOB) | Estimated turnover (Top 200) | Estimated personal wealth (rich list cross-ref) | Charity trustee flags | Property signals | Box holder signals | LinkedIn URL | Cold-outreach priority (1–3).
Time required: ~3 days of focused work using Companies House + Endole Free Trial + LinkedIn Sales Nav. Building this once gives DoctoriumGP a 12-month outreach asset.
