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.Tex, the engineering and plastic group, stretched to another peak, up 2.5p to 122.5p, as profit expectations were lifted. On Wednesday the company announced a pounds 6m contract to supply engineering plant to the Philippines. Other developments are likely. The group achieved interim profits of pounds 650,000 and a close follower of the company, Nick Brock of stockbroker Walker Crips Weddle Beck, believes profits for the year to March will emerge at more than pounds 1.4m. The shares were down to 19p when Tex was in the red in the early 1990's.
Wellington Market Co, started in 1,244 and claiming to be Britain's oldest company, is hoping to raise pounds 1m through an open offer and preference conversion. The two class of shares are 80p on Ofex; the rights price is 55p.
