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.ONE OF the country's leading suppliers of cakes and confectionery to the retail trade, nff plc (formerly Northumberland Fine Foods), has bought a Wales-based baking and distribution business which went into administration before Christmas.
The Evans Group and Hafren Wholesale were sold by administrators from PricewaterhouseCoopers to nff for pounds 2,105,000.
The businesses are based in Aberystwyth and Haverfordwest and make speciality breads, including Ciabatta Herb Sundried Tomato and Cheese Bread, as well as more traditional products, such as doughnouts.
Henry Roberts, chief executive of nff (pictured), said the two businesses had been overcapitalised but were fundamentally sound. They had a turnover of pounds 8.4m last year. nff sells to both the large retail chains and to corner shops.
