Press Release  24 February 2015 
 
 
 
   Vp plc 
 
   ("Vp" or "the Group") 
 
   Interim Management Statement 
 
   Vp plc, the equipment rental specialist, today provides an update on the 
performance of the business since the announcement of its Interim 
Results on 27 November 2014. 
 
   The Group has continued to trade well through the winter period assisted 
by relatively mild weather conditions and customer demand has picked up 
steadily through the early part of 2015.  The construction, 
housebuilding and infrastructure sectors remain strong, though the Board 
does anticipate a limited impact on the Group's oil and gas related 
activities following on from the recent reduction in global oil prices. 
 
   Overall the business is trading well, and with a momentum that leads the 
Board to believe that the Group will deliver full year results ahead of 
current market expectations for the year ended 31 March 2015.
