As this data is pretty much openly accessible, I think there'd be no

the places against OSM data and, if needed correct and/or create
them, right?
I often find that business locations are way off target. I think head
offices often just plug the postcode into Google Maps, rather than
asking someone to read them on their GPS capable mobile, or match them
to actual features on the local map.
A quick check of one I know the location of shows that the co-ordinates
given seem to be of the business park that its in rather than the
building itself: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/53.22910/-1.42264
. That list should be OK for spotting missing examples, but if one is
missing you'd need to visit to see which actual building it was in.
Obviously a nominatim search of e.g. "harvester in chesterfield" will
also return (or not) whatever OSM has.
Best Regards,
Andy
