pursue interests outside of the corporate world.

 

Anna joined Vp in January 2023 and has led the Group as CEO since September

evolving the Group's strategy and positioning Vp for long term growth. Anna
will continue to lead the Group as CEO until 31 March 2026. The recruitment

Jeremy Pilkington, Executive Chair, commented:

"On behalf of the Board and all at Vp, I would like to thank Anna for the
significant contribution that she has made. Her leadership and energy have
been instrumental in evolving the Group's strategy and building solid
foundations for the future. We respect her decision and are pleased that she
will lead the Group through this transitional period as we continue to deliver
on our strategic objectives."

 

Anna Bielby, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"My decision to step down as CEO has not been an easy one. Vp is a great
business with a rich heritage and a bright future, and this role has been a
pleasure and a privilege. I am proud of the significant progress we are
making, and I am committed to leading the business over the next six months,
working alongside the leadership team and the Board to continue to deliver our
strategy."

 

The Group will provide a trading update for the six months ended 30 September
2025 on 10 October 2025.
