Interim Management Statement

Press Release   15 February 2011




                                     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 30
November 2010.

The overall demand for our services has remained relatively consistent with that
experienced in the first half of the current financial year.  Whilst the weather
conditions during December were unusually severe, the impact on the business was
largely  neutral.  We  expect to  report full  year results  in line with market
expectations.

We have continued to invest in the business as opportunities have been secured.
Debt levels within the Group remain well within our committed facilities and the
associated covenants.

We  continue  to  concentrate  on  optimising  the  performance  of our existing
business  streams.   We  believe a  sustained economic  recovery is likely to be
some  way off.  However, we do anticipate  that opportunities will appear in the
future  and our  strong balance  sheet will  enable us  to embrace these as they
arise.

Our  resilient business  model of  providing specialist  equipment services to a
diverse range of markets remains a significant asset.  We believe that the Group
will deliver another very satisfactory result in the current financial year.


                                    - Ends -
