Vp plc makes senior appointment to ‘drive renewed strategy forward’

Harrogate-based equipment rental specialist Vp plc, which provides equipment, people, services and support for specialist projects in the infrastructure, construction, housebuilding and energy sectors, has announced the appointment of Sinéad Brown as group health & safety and sustainability director.

Sinéad joins from Costain Group plc, where she had a 15-year career and was instrumental in the health and safety leadership across multiple disciplines including leading teams in highways, nuclear and water sectors. She was most recently seconded to the Smart Motorways Programme (SMP) Alliance, a Project 13 enterprise of seven organisations working collaboratively with a network of over 100 supplier partners.

Sinéad, who also joins the executive committee, will lead the enhancement of Vp’s existing divisional health and safety teams by driving the implementation of group-wide, streamlined processes.

Her appointment is the latest development in Vp’s refreshed strategy which focuses on specialist divisions working more closely together to drive growth.

Jonathan May, chief operating officer, said: “Sinéad has extensive experience in the health, safety and sustainability fields which will further build on the foundations that Vp already has.

“I believe that Sinéad’s experience in the construction sector has many parallels from which we can learn. We look forward to working with her to drive our renewed strategy forward.”
