Harris pledge on dual role
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.SIR Philip Harris, the carpet tycoon, has told City institutions that he will appoint a non-executive chairman at his retailing group Carpetright within two years.
The move comes after criticism because Sir Philip combined the roles of chairman and chief executive shortly before Carpetright announced its flotation last month. The prospectus for the float is to be published on Tuesday and will value the company at pounds 110m. This is towards the top end of market estimates and represents a demanding multiple of 22 times the after-tax earnings in the year just ended.
