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 owners of Insider Publishing, a specialist information company for the insurance industry, are celebrating after selling the business for £16.8m to Euromoney Institutional Investor.
Peter Hastie, 39, its founder and managing director, and more than a dozen other shareholders hold stakes in Insider Publishing.
The London-based publishing group, which was founded in 2000, owns the Insurance Insider website as well as operating a series of regular events and awards.
The FTSE 250-listed Euromoney, already a major player in financial information and events, said Insider Publishing would compliment its existing stable of brands including Reactions, its own insurance information service.
Mr Hastie is the largest individual shareholder in Insider Publishing with a 16 per cent per cent stake, potentially worth £2.7m.
Insider Publishing is highly profitable, making £2.1m before tax last year on revenues of £4.7m.
