City File: Attwoods is the Millwall of waste management sector
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.Attwoods is the Millwall of the waste management sector. The City does not like it, and Ken Foreman, the group's forthright chairman and chief executive, does not appear to care.
The shares have hardly been a sparkling performer over the past year, and problems in Germany and at home have not helped sentiment. Still, on an FRS3 basis, Attwoods' pre-tax profits should show a modest improvement to pounds 27m when they are announced on Wednesday.
But is Attwoods a buy? In the long term it must do something to reform its board and that will win it some friends. Until then, the shares are going nowhere.
