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.The public will now be able to count more than its motorway trucks after distribution firm Eddie Stobart entered the retail bond market, as it seeks to raise £25m.
The transport group has launched a product paying an annual fixed rate of 5.5 per cent over six years. Ben Whawell, the finance director at Stobart, said: "Following a successful UK roadshow to test market conditions for a retail bond issue, we are very pleased to announce our entry to the market." He added: "We enter the market on the back of significant expansion of the group, with developments in our air, biomass and estates divisions now delivering results and bringing benefits across the business."
