Press Release 17 December 2020
Vp plc
('Vp' or the 'Group')
Statement re. CMA infringement notice
Vp plc, the equipment rental specialist, notes that today, following an investigation lasting almost four years, the Competition and Markets Authority ('CMA') has announced its finding that there has been a breach of competition law by three major suppliers of groundworks products for hire in the UK.
This is an area of activity for part of the Group's excavation support systems business ('Groundforce Shorco').
The turnover of the business concerned represented 9% of the Vp plc group turnover for the year ended 31 March 2020. No other Vp businesses are included in this investigation.
The CMA has imposed a penalty of GBP11.2 million on Vp. The Group's accounts to 30 September 2020, announced on Monday 7(th) December 2020, included a provision of GBP15.4 million in respect of this matter.
Vp fundamentally disagrees with the conclusions of the CMA and based on the board's current view of the information available it is our intention to appeal to the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).
Notwithstanding, the Group's view of the merits of the CMA's findings, Vp has always prided itself on conducting its business fairly and ethically. The board is committed to ensuring that our policies and procedures are adhered to by all Vp employees.
The Group will make further announcements in due course, as appropriate.
