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.CALEDONIA Investments, the Cayzer family investment vehicle, sold 5.1 per cent of Close Brothers through SBC Warburg at 763p a share, realising pounds 47.3m. The 120-year-old merchant banker ended 10p higher at 790p, a peak.
Caledonia, which retains a 20 per cent holding, has a long association with the merchant bank which advised when the Cayzer interests were concentrated in the investment company and the old British & Commonwealth shipping group cast adrift.
ANOTHER shake-up at Birkdale, the marketing services group. Andrew Moore and his partner Paul Harvey are buying the 8 per cent shareholding of chairman Kevin Morley, a former managing director of Rover Cars.
They are paying 1.37p a share against a 1.5p market price and 17.25p four years ago. Mr Morley, who will leave the group, is buying three Birkdale off-shoots.
