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.

Hanover International, the hotel group being created by Peter Eyles, former chief of the Norfolk Capital hotel chain, returned to market following the acquisition of six hotels for pounds 40m. The shares, suspended at 150p, traded at 130p against the 124p at which they were placed to help fund the deal.

The six hotels were owned by an arm of Compagnie Bancaire, which repossessed the properties during the recession. Before the takeover Hanover, which came to market last year, had just one hotel, the Imperial at Cork.

John Tams, the dinnerware and mugs group, shaded to 59p, although Greig Middleton rates the shares, yielding 8.2 per cent, a buy. It sees profit climbing to pounds 1.6m this year and just over pounds 2m next.
