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.HAYS, the support services group, is planning to spend pounds 200m on acquisitions in Europe this year.
The group, whose interests cover the distribution, personnel and document handling sectors, is looking principally at private businesses to add to its pounds 92m acquisition spree in the first half of its financial year. Hays yesterday reported a 20 per cent increase in first-half profits to pounds 110m, with the personnel division raising profits by 30 per cent. Ronnie Frost, the chairman (pictured), said he did not expect to see a recession in Britain.
