Company News in Brief
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.

It achieved a reduction in losses even though turnover had shown a 36 per cent decline from pounds 3.9m to pounds 2.5m. Loss per share was cut to 1.8p (8.3p). No dividend was declared.
Stavert Zigomala, the furniture and carpet wholesaler and retailer, reported a slight fall in pre-tax profits from pounds 39,000 to pounds 37,000 in the six months to 30 September. Sales were pounds 335,000, down from pounds 452,000, but the company produced a smaller loss than the corresponding period last year, due to increased margins and disposal of old stock. Earnings per share dropped to 9.3p (9.84p). No dividend.
Danka Business Systems, which supplies and services office equipment, announced a surge in pre-tax profits from pounds 4.7m to pounds 8.8m for the third quarter ended 31 December, helped by two acquisitions amounting to pounds 8.4m.
