Vp rental specialist activity has risen in 2008

Equipment rental specialist Vp has reported that performance has “remained positive”since announcing its interim results at the end of November.

Neil Stothard, managing director, said that activity levels have built up since the Christmas break and “we have seen no impact from the problems in the wider financial markets”.

Acquisitions have integrated well: USS and PTA were bought for £600,000 in November 2007 while Able Safety was added in the same month for a further £750,000.
