OVERVIEW OF FACILITIES BY ADF PLC

 

The Facilities by ADF Group is the leading provider of premium serviced
production facilities along with location services and ground protection
equipment to the UK film and high-end television (HETV) industry.

 

The Group serves customers in an industry that has experienced,
notwithstanding the Strikes in 2023, significant growth in recent years, with
additional demand driven by a material rise in the consumption of film and
HETV content via streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+ and
Amazon Prime. The UK film and TV industry has directly benefited during this
growth due to the quality of its production facilities and studios, highly
skilled domestic workforce, geography, accessibility to Europe, English
language environment and strong governmental support. Major US streaming
companies have now set up permanent bases in the UK, with the UK now the film
and TV industry's second largest operation after North America.

 

Facilities by ADF production fleet is made up of more than 800 technical
vehicles, premium mobile make-up, costume and artiste trailers, production
offices, mobile bathrooms, diners and school rooms.

 

To strengthen its position as a One-Stop-Shop for the Film and HETV industry,
ADF acquired Location One Ltd, the UK's largest TV and film location service
provider, in November 2022, and then further expanded in September 2024 by
acquiring Autotrak Portable Roadways Ltd, a market leader in portable roadway
solutions, diversifying the Group's offerings and customer base.
