ADF Insider Trading

Facilities by ADF plc is the leading provider of premium serviced production facilities to the UK film and high-end television industry (“HETV”). Its production fleet is made up of over 600 premium mobile make-up, costume and artiste trailers, production offices, mobile bathrooms (known as honey wagons), diners, school rooms and technical vehicles. The Group provides these production facilities and additional services after a planning process with its customers held in advance of filming. In servicing productions, ADF staff are available on site and each production is allocated an account manager who acts as a single lead point of contact during filming. In December 2022, ADF acquired Location One Ltd, the UK's largest integrated TV and film location service and equipment hire company, bringing highly complementary services and providing cross selling opportunities to the enlarged Group, as well as delivering efficiencies through central services. The Group serves customers in an industry that has experienced 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 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 Netflix's third largest operation after the USA and Canada.
