Vp in two minutes
A two minute monlogue update
What’s changed:
I’ve updated the management section following the recent tender offer.
Dear Vp thank you for your kind offer
I won’t be accepting…
Vp‘s offer to buy 1/14 of its shares back, at 254p gives me mixed feelings.
Vp in two minutes
What it does: equipment hire
Vp is an equipment hire company supplying the construction, engineering, oil and gas exploration, rail and outdoor events industries through six businesses.
A cyclical masquerading as a stalwart
Honeymoon over before the wedding
I’m grateful to Rijk, John Kingham and Trident for giving me something to think about as I stumbled through equipment hire company Vp’s past annual reports.
Vp: not as silly as it sounds
It all started with a vibrating roller
Not often you can say that about a company, is it? The ‘V’ in Vp is for ‘Vibrating’ and, fortunately, this story gets duller from there. The ‘p’ stand for ‘plant’, as in Vibrating Roller and Plant Hire Ltd., founded in 1954. The name was later contracted to Vibroplant, and then Vp.
