Press Release                                                  18 February 2008

                                     Vp plc

                             ('Vp' or 'the Group')

                          Interim Management Statement

Vp plc, the equipment rental specialist, today advises that since the Interim
Results announcement on 27 November 2007, the performance of the business has
remained positive across the wide range of market sectors which it serves.

Activity levels have built up satisfactorily since the Christmas break, and
whilst we have seen no discernible impact from the problems in the wider
financial markets, the Group remains alert to any changes.  USS and PTA,
acquired for £0.6m, and Able Safety, acquired for £0.75m, both in November 2007,
have integrated well into the Groundforce and Hire Station divisional businesses
respectively.

The Group continues to experience good demand for its products and services and
expects to be able to report earnings in line with market expectations, which
would represent significant growth on the previous year.
