Business and City Summary
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.Pru backs Ewart board
Ewart, the Belfast property group that is fighting an attempt to unseat four of its directors, yesterday said that it had received the support of Prudential, which owns a 6 per cent stake in the company.
In a letter posted to shareholders over the weekend, Ewart said it had also received 'firm indications from the majority of its institutional investors against an attempt by Monarch Properties to unseat the directors'.
