People and Business: ICI talent show
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.ANALYSTS ARRIVING for ICI's annual results briefing yesterday were surprised to see the outgoing chairman, Sir Ronnie Hampel, take the podium instead of Charles Miller Smith, who had been named successor only the day before.
Sir Ronnie assured the assembled City scribblers that they were witnessing "neither a resurrection, nor a reincarnation". Mr Miller Smith was flat on his back in bed with flu. All of which meant that ICI's new chief executive, Brendan O'Neill, had to deliver the main presentation. Is there no end to this man's talents?
