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.Marchpole Holdings, which designs, sources and distributes menswear and boyswear under licence from Yves Saint Laurent Couture SA, celebrated its first day on the stock market with the news that it has been awarded a licence to supply YSL casualwear to an existing YSL licensee in Japan.
Under the terms of the five-year licence, Marchpole will supply its casualwear ranges to guaranteed minimum purchase volumes and all royalties will be paid by the existing Japanese licensee. Marchpole's only investment is in the advertising and marketing of the product. The group's shares reached 123.5p each by the close of trade, up 13.5p - or 12 per cent on the 110p share placing price.
