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.BRIAN DISBURY has finally severed all ties with Mosaic Investments, clutching a pounds 189,000 cheque and driving away in his three-year-old Audi Quattro company car, writes John Shepherd.
Sue Bull, finance director of the mini-conglomerate with interests in engineering and packaging, said that Mr Disbury, having been removed as chairman in July, had now resigned as a director.
Mr Disbury, understood to have earned pounds 120,000 annually, was on a three-year rolling contract. His severance terms also included a pension package.
Greg Hutchings, who heads Tomkins Holdings, took over as non-executive chairman when Mr Disbury was voted off the board.
Shares in Mosaic, as high as 260p a year-ago, closed unchanged at their 1992 low of 90p.
