UK-based alternative to Apollo/Instantly with leads, email, calling + CRM?

I’m based in the UK and looking for a modern sales/outbound tool or CRM that can help me:

  • Find local leads
  • Enrich contacts
  • Send cold emails/sequences
  • Call from a UK number
  • Log calls/emails/notes properly in a CRM

I’ve looked at Apollo, but it seems you can only call from a US/Canada number unless you pay around £150/month for the Advanced Dialer add-on, which feels steep when I’m UK-based and need a UK caller ID.

Are there any good alternatives that combine lead finding, email outreach, UK calling, and CRM logging in one place? Or is the better setup something like Apollo/Instantly for data/email plus Close, Aircall, Ringover, etc. for UK calling?

Would appreciate any recommendations from UK-based sales teams or founders.

Best Google Maps scraping tools for local business leads?

I’m helping a family member grow their local service business and reach more nearby customers, so I’ve been looking into ways to build more targeted local business lead lists.

I started by searching manually through Google Maps, company websites, and local directories, but it quickly became too slow once I wanted to cover multiple areas and service categories.

Ideally, I’m trying to find a workflow or tool that can help collect business details like the company name, website, location, and, where publicly available, the owner or decision-maker’s email and phone number.

I’ve seen a few platforms that offer Google Maps scraping, business data extraction, and enrichment, but I haven’t properly tested any yet.

For anyone who’s built local business lead lists before, what tools or processes have worked best for finding accurate contact details for owners or decision-makers without spending a fortune?
