Investment Case

A leading provider of premium production facilities and services in an industry with high barriers to entry

Facilities by ADF is a market-leading provider of premium production facilities, location services and ground protection solutions to the UK film and high-end television market. Through its three complementary businesses, ADF, Location One and Autotrak, the Group provides an integrated range of on-location services to many of the world’s leading studios, broadcasters and production companies. The Group operates a modern, premium fleet of approximately 800 specialist vehicles and trailers and supports productions across the UK.

Strong market position underpinned by service excellence

Facilities by ADF has established a reputation for quality, reliability and operational excellence. The Group’s Net Promoter Score of 89 demonstrates industry-leading customer satisfaction and supports a high level of repeat business from both major global studios and independent producers. Recent productions supported by the Group include Slow Horses, The Gentlemen, Rivals and Clayface, reflecting the strength of its customer relationships and market position. This is supported by the management team’s significant industry experience and deep network of contacts.

Diversified portfolio with multiple growth drivers

The acquisitions of Location One and Autotrak have transformed the Group into a broader production support platform, expanding its capabilities across location services, equipment hire and ground protection solutions. As a result, Facilities by ADF now benefits from exposure to film and television production, as well as adjacent markets including live events, construction and infrastructure. This diversification strengthens resilience while creating opportunities for cross-selling across the Group.

Structural market drivers present growth opportunities

Facilities by ADF operates in a growing UK film and HETV market, with UK spend hitting £6.8bn in 2025, fuelled by global studios and streamers. Strong tax incentives and infrastructure cement the UK as a premium content hub, with fragmented supply favouring scaled players.
