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.ROSSMONT, the maker of vandal-proof, stainless-steel lavatories for football stadia and prisons, has received two bid approaches, writes Nigel Cope.
Robert Burns, chairman, said that both the bids were for up to 29.9 per cent of the shares. 'We did not invite the bids but they would be in the interest of shareholders.'
He would not reveal the level of the bids nor the identity of the suitors but said one was British and the other from overseas.
The shares finished unchanged at 15p yesterday.
Rossmont, which is capitalised at about pounds 2.5m, came to the stock market in December last year as the holding company for Santric, which makes anti-vandal urinals in Swindon. It also has a presence in hospitals, where it sells mortuary trolleys and sinks. The group was said to be on the acquisition trail but management attention has been distracted by the bid offers. The company expects to make a further announcement next week.
