Further to the announcement made on 19 December 2025, Vp, the specialist equipment rental group, confirms that Alice Woodwark has today assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, following Anna Bielby's decision to step down as CEO.

 

Anna will remain with the Group in an advisory capacity until 31 March 2026, to allow a seamless and orderly transition.

"I am very pleased to welcome Alice to Vp today. Our strategy to deliver growth through operational excellence, greater group-wide collaboration and a focus on specialist, higher return markets remains clear.
