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.

Flextech will control 87.5 per cent of the venture, which has yet to be named. Harry Goodman, former head of the ILG travel group and Denis Strauss, joint founders of Marcbrand will own the remainder. Flextech's shares remained unchanged at 566p.

OMI International, the engineering group, is starting to bounce after hitting a year-low of 14p earlier this month. The company ended up 2p at 17p after Tuesday's pounds 2.3m acquisition of Forry. Forry specialises in particulate control systems for the industrial processes and power station market in the States. OMI announces interim results on Tuesday.
