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.Prestbury, a property tiddler which has become the main vehicle for Nick Leslau, put through a pounds 13.25m property acquisition, funded from its own cash resources with bank finance "arranged shortly". The deal has rekindled hopes AIM-traded Prestbury will merge with Carlisle, a cash rich group with a modest property portfolio and a full listing. Entrepreneur Nigel Wray, a long time associate of Mr Leslau, is involved with both companies and a merger would assist Mr Leslau's ambition to develop Prestbury. Carlisle shaded to 9.25p and Prestbury held at 4.75p.
Teather & Greenwood, which has taken over as stockbroker to Dean Corporation, expects the house building and property services group to lift profits to pounds 1.4m this year and pounds 1.9m next. The shares are 11p.
