Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CELSIS International, which dismissed its chief executive in April, has appointed an American to take over. Arthur Holden, a former marketing executive at the US healthcare group Baxter International, will join the biotechnology group at the beginning of next month, writes Diane Coyle.
Mr Holden, who is moving his family from Illinois to Cambridge, was in charge of global marketing for Baxter's renal products. Before that, he worked as a management consultant, after abandoning a PhD in psychology.
The company has not yet settled its dispute with Tony Martin, the former chief executive who received no compensation when he left. In May he said he would sue the company for wrongful dismissal. Celsis said it hoped the matter would be resolved soon.
The company, which makes microbe diagnostic kits, has added Colgate-Palmolive to its customer list, which includes Merck, Wellcome, Unilever and Cadbury Schweppes.
Celsis, floated just over a year ago, has five products. A digital contamination detection kit is due for launch in January.
