About Us

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.

Facilities by ADF production fleet is made up of more than 700 premium mobile make‑up, costume and artiste trailers, production offices, mobile bathrooms, diners, school rooms and technical vehicles.

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.
