True to an extent but if the company are using personal data to do the
marketing i.e. mail is personally adressed then the individual still has
the right to ask them to stop the use of their personal data for direct
marketing, even if it is in a business context.
The Committee of Advertising Practice Code (used by the ASA) mirrors this
as well in saying that consumers are entitled to have their personal
information suppressed for marketing purposes. They define consumer as
"anyone who is likely to to see a given marketing communication, whether in
the course of business or not".

Only they could answer that - but remember, the right to opt out of
marketing under the DPA applies to private individuals only, not to
businesses/organisations.
