Burton still paying former executives: Correction
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.SIR Ralph Halpern has asked us to make clear that any money paid to him at the end of this year will form part of a severance package worth up to pounds 2m plus an annual pounds 456,000 pension agreed when he left Burton, and which was notified fully to shareholders at that time. Any impression given by our article on 2 May that he was to receive further amounts was incorrect. Sir Ralph has been invited to advise, and is not heading, Digsa, the Spanish food retailer. We apologise for any embarrassment.
