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 architecture practice behind the Thames cable car crossing, which proved so popular when it opened ahead of the Olympics, has seen revenue rise by 12 per cent. The London and Hong Kong-based Aedas, which also worked on the Dubai Metro and has 2,000 staff worldwide, said its global turnover hit £158.8m in 2011, while pre-tax profit was £12.8m. Asia provided the bulk of this improvement, as Britain, Europe and the Middle East posted a pre-tax loss of about £1m after a restructure of those operations. Growth in the UK is not expected to return until 2014. Aedas, which has existed in its current guise for just over 10 years, is looking to win more work in the US, where it has offices in Seattle and Los Angeles.
