Vp buys M&S Hire

Vp has acquired the specialist access equipment business M&S Hire Ltd for a cash consideration of £2.8m.

The business operates from a single location in Sittingbourne and serves the Greater London market. It will now be integrated with MEP Hire, which offers low level access and press fitting tools from nine locations within Vp's UK division.

Jeremy Pilkington, chairman of Vp plc, said: "The acquisition of M&S is an excellent addition to our very successful MEP Hire business and it will complement its existing operations with increased exposure to the commercial fit-out sector."
