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.Harold Tillman has held talks to sell his department store, Allders of Croydon.
Mr Tillman, the chairman of Jaeger and Aquascutum, and of the British Fashion Council, and his chief executive Andrew MacKenzie, held talks with Beales, the regional chain, earlier this year.
The talks have ended, but a sale could still be on the cards for the UK's third largest department store, which is 150 next year. Some sources said that Hilco has shown interest, but this was denied.
Mr MacKenzie said: "Allders is not for sale. We've had approaches, but continue to expand. Next week, we launch an interactive website."
