AGM Statement
Vp plc, the equipment rental specialist, will hold its Annual
General Meeting ('AGM') at 10am today at Rudding House, Rudding
Park, Follifoot, Harrogate HG3 1JH. At the AGM, the Chairman of Vp,
Jeremy Pilkington, will make the following statement:
"I am pleased to report to shareholders on a positive start to
the new financial year.
In the UK, our core markets have enjoyed supportive demand and
the integration of Brandon Hire, acquired in November 2017, is
progressing well and is trading in line with the Board's
expectations.
Within the International division, our oil and gas support
business, as anticipated, has seen some modest recovery. The test
and measurement activities in Asia Pacific have also continued to
trade well.
Vp has made a good start to the new financial year and
notwithstanding the inevitable macro market uncertainties, we
believe that the Group is set to deliver further progress."
