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 "HOLE in the wall" cash dispenser, or at least queuing up at one, may have become a bane of modern-day life. But for Killby and Gayford, the family-owned refurbishment and security specialists, they are a way of making money as well as dispensing it.

The London-based company, Britain's leading installer of the cash machines, or ATMs as they are known, was yesterday bought by its management for pounds 12m in a deal financed by 3i and Bank of Scotland.

Pictured (left to right) are group managing director Terry Smith, Stephen Keating of 3i and Chris Chivers, managing director (building), at the headquarters of the news and financial services group Bloomberg where Killby and Gayford is carrying out a major refurbishment. The business has been under the same family ownership for four generations since its foundation in 1860. The buyout will make a multi-millionaire out of the current chairman and controlling shareholder, Michael May.
