Vp turns to Buchanan for financial PR

Listed industrial equipment rental specialist Vp has appointed Buchanan as its financial PR and investor relations adviser.

Vp was founded in 1954 and trades on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. It comprises six main operating divisions: UK Forks, Groundforce, Airpac Bukom Oilfield Services, Hire Station, Torrent Trackside and TPA.

These businesses offer the rental and sale of specialist products and associated services to a diverse range of “end markets”, including construction, civil engineering, rail, water, oil and gas, outdoor events and housebuilding.

Henry Harrison-Topham, partner at Buchanan, said: “The Buchanan team is really pleased to have been appointed by Vp.  With strong earnings and a robust balance sheet, Vp is well placed for future growth and we look forward to assisting the management team in enhancing their message to their current and future investment audiences.”

The account will be led by Harrison-Topham, supported by partner Richard Darby, associate director Helen Chan, senior account executive Jane Glover and account executive Gemma Mostyn-Owen.  The team will be working closely with Vp’s group managing director Neil Stothard and group finance director Allison Bainbridge.
