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.Graseby, the monitoring equipment group, said it was firing on all four cylinders for the first time in five years as it reported a bounce back from last year's depressed second half. Pre-tax profits slipped from pounds 5.37m to pounds 4.99m in the six months to June, but that represented a substantial improvement on the pounds 634,000 reported in the immediately preceding six months.
The defence division more than doubled profits to pounds 1.48m and the group said it was the first time in five years it was seeing growth in the business. Profits fell in the product monitoring and medical arms, but the latter will be almost doubled by the recent acquisition of 3M's drug monitoring equipment operation. The interim dividend is being held at 2.7p.
