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.Action is expected to emerge soon at John Mansfield, the little timber group being prepared for a much grander role. In the summer Julian Treger and Brian Myerson, scourge of under performing companies, decided to do their own thing and descended on Mansfield, acquiring 65 per cent. So far their involvement has led to the arrival of a new chairman, Stuart Wallis, once chief executive of Fisons. The shares are 8.25p.
Engineer Widney edged ahead 1p to 48.5p as two investors, with 11.5 per cent, called a shareholders' meeting to oust three directors, including David Cassidy, chairman and chief executive. Last month Widney said talks with a bidder had ended. The "rebels" are Strand Associates, a financial boutique, and SEP Industrial, unchanged at 28.5p.
