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.

A story of an "experienced management team with a good track record" is how Nigel Popham of stockbroker Teather & Greenwood describes Glenchewton, the houseware group which has moved into pubs. He forecasts profits of pounds 1.7m this year with pounds 3.2m in 1998. The pub operation is concentrating on food outlets and he expects the chain to double to 30 next year. The shares, which have had a good run lately, were unchanged at 61p.

Two tiddlers tapped the market for cash. Greenhills, with an American- style restaurant opening in London's West End, pulled in around pounds 200,000 placing shares at 14p and Surrey, a bookie, achieved a similar sum with a 1p placing. It wants the cash to develop golf interests. Greenhills held at 15p; Surrey at 1p.
