OVERVIEW OF FACILITIES BY ADF

ADF's production fleet is made up of 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 the customer held well 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.

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 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.

 

The above trends have led to increased demand for the Group's services, with ADF's fleet capacity already almost fully booked for the 2022 calendar year, and the Group is seeing booking lead times of on average seven months prior to the commencement of filming.

 

KEY STRENGTHS

 

The Directors believe that ADF's key strengths include:

 

· a high quality, market-leading offering resulting in strong relationships with some of the world's largest film and HETV producers;

 

· an experienced management team with a wide and deep network of contacts;

 

· strong revenue and earnings visibility;

 

· being an established player in an industry with high barriers to entry; and

 

· being the only facilities provider in Europe that is approved by albert, the authority on environmental sustainability for the film and television industry – an endorsement of the Group's positive ESG strategy.

Hargreaves Services PLC

17 December 2021

 

 

Hargreaves Services plc

("Hargreaves" or the "Group")

 

 Westfield site set for major green energy investment

 

Hargreaves Services plc (AIM: HSP), a diversified group delivering services to the industrial and property sectors, notes the successful financial close of the Westfield Energy from Waste ("EfW") plant to be constructed by Brockwell Energy Limited ("Brockwell"). The Westfield site, which is in Fife, Scotland, is owned by Hargreaves.

 

In October 2018, the Group sold its shares in Brockwell for initial gross proceeds of £21m, resulting in a profit of £5.2m. As noted at the time, a further £2m in cash becomes payable to Hargreaves following the successful financial close of the EfW plant.

 

A key aspect of the sale in 2018 was the careful selection of a partner who would be committed to the successful longer term development of the renewable energy portfolio held by Brockwell. Many of these renewable projects are on land which Hargreaves owns and therefore the successful development of these projects will help to maximise the value of the underlying land retained by the Group.

 

As well as the £2m additional receipt, which will be recorded as discontinued in the Income Statement, the Group will now benefit from a lease to Brockwell for a minimum term of 35 years.  The annual index linked rental starts at £105k per annum and increases to £420k per annum following the construction of the EfW plant but no later than 2025.

 

Hargreaves will invest £7m in the Westfield site over the next 12 months to deliver services to the eight acre plot for Brockwell. In doing so, a further 40 acres of employment land will be serviced. This land can accommodate a broad range of industrial users, who will be able to benefit from potentially cheaper energy delivered by the EfW plant. The Westfield site also contains approximately 50 further acres of developable land.

 

Roger McDowell, Non-Executive Chairman of Hargreaves, said : "The Board is delighted to see the progress made by the Brockwell team with whom Hargreaves continues to have a strong relationship. This is another positive step towards maximising the inherent value of the Group's existing renewable land portfolio."

4GLOBAL PLC

("4GLOBAL" or the "Company")

New Contract Win

4GLOBAL, a UK-based data, services and software company focused on major sporting events and the promotion and measurement of physical activity, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a circa $500k contract with the Peruvian government commencing immediately.  c$100k of the contract is expected to be delivered and recognised in the current financial year ending 31 March 2022 with the balance due next year.

4GLOBAL has been appointed as one of a team of technical delivery partners (known as the "Koulu Consortium") to work alongside the UK Government to provide specialised technical assistance to the Peruvian government on a major contract in Peru to create 75 new schools.

As a member of the Koulu Consortium, 4GLOBAL will provide its Sport Intelligence platform, data and know-how to assist in developing an active schools' framework to ensure the schools are as conducive to activity as possible and helping to activate the schools and connect with local communities.

This is the third UK-to-Peruvian-government arrangement in which 4GLOBAL has been involved, the first of which was within the framework of the Pan American and Para Pan American Games Lima 2019 which provided technical advice and monitoring in the construction of sports infrastructure and service management, considered to be a model for large infrastructure works.

The government-to-government agreement was signed by the British ambassador to Peru, Kate Harrison in representation for the UK Department of International Trade. On signing she said:

"It is an honour that Peru has chosen the UK government and Koulu Consortium as its delivery partner to provide technical assistance in the development of the Bicentennial Schools Special Project. It is a great opportunity to support Peru in the year of its Bicentenary and to continue strengthening our partnership. The project will boost social infrastructure in education – an essential pillar supporting Peru's development process and investment in its people."

Eloy Mazon, Chief Executive Officer of 4GLOBAL, commented :

"We are delighted to have yet again been appointed to assist the UK Government providing technical advice on this significant Peruvian schools project and we very much look forward with enthusiasm to working with all parties to create outstanding outcomes. 4GLOBAL's appointment to this third project reflects the success of earlier projects where some outstanding results were achieved."

About 4GLOBAL

4GLOBAL is a UK-based data, services and software company focused on major sporting events and the promotion and measurement of physical activity. The Company uses its proprietary data and software solutions to convert data into actionable insight which enables clients to promote sports participation, to reduce physical inactivity and to achieve economic, social and healthcare outcomes.

The Company works with, and supports, a range of clients including governments (e.g. the U.K. Government and Sport England), cities and local authorities (e.g. Neom, Saudi Arabia, and Manchester, UK), sporting federations and activity providers (e.g. The Gym Group), to address the problem of physical inactivity, to produce significant and measurable health, social and economic benefits.

Historically, 4GLOBAL has used major sporting events as a catalyst to help address the issue of physical inactivity issue. Physical inactivity, the key problem addressed by the technology offering, is a global phenomenon. Across the globe, physical inactivity has yet to be met with concerted government action. Addressing this issue is an essential element of 4GLOBAL's potential growth. Its relationships with governments, and public and international sports bodies, makes 4GLOBAL ideally placed to provide a solution.

Over time, the role that these sports and sporting events play at national and city (or in the U.K. at local authority) level has evolved. 4GLOBAL management identified the London 2012 Olympics as a transformational point. Since then, increasing emphasis has been placed on leaving a "legacy" once the event has ended – economic legacy (in terms of transformation and regeneration of host cities), social legacy (in terms of improving local/national health, crime reduction, education improvements) and participatory legacy (to increase the participation in sport by the host country's population). 4GLOBAL's management realised that measurement and monitoring of these outcomes requires relevant data. As a consequence, the Company has built the Sport Intelligence platform, which tracks and manages activity data that has been collected and stored on the Company's DataHub, its GDPR-compliant database.

The Directors believe that demand for its offerings will continue to increase. This is driven by underlying growth in key channels to market, such as a long-standing relationship with the U.K. Government, and increased development of proprietary models that highlight the social return of investment in sport, rising health and social cost pressures, regulatory and technology change and continuing consolidation in the sports and technology services industry.

The Group also has a vision to capitalise on the transformation in the role of sport towards a wider public purpose around health and wellbeing through the promotion of physical activity, which in turn produces health benefits to people and society. In this way, and through its proprietary sports participation data platform, Sport Intelligence, the Company differentiates itself from more generalist sports and/or health technology and services businesses.

About Silverbullet

Silverbullet's proprietary 4D advertising solution is designed to help advertisers target consumers in a "post cookie world". The product is a natural extension to its existing services business which already serves a blue-chip client base such as Heineken, Channel 4, Amazon, ITV and Jägermeister amongst many others.

 

The removal of third-party cookies has already been implemented by web browsers such as Firefox and Safari, with Google expected to phase out the use of cookies in 2022. 

Headquartered in London, the Group employs 66 employees across five regions across the globe, including, the UK, Italy, Germany, Australia and the US. The Group continues to look at other opportunities for expansion worldwide.

The Company has an established and growing services business with significant accumulated industry experience and a proven track record of delivering strategic projects and activation services to its clients.

The majority of the Board have held senior positions at global software companies and have significant industry experience across data engineering, SAAS product development and marketing.

The Group has close technical and commercial partnerships with Salesforce, Oracle and Adobe, all of which have existing sales channels and are already delivering to clients.

The Group has established a joint venture and strategic partnership with Local Planet, a scaled network of over 60 agencies across the globe which transact, in aggregate, over US$16 billion of media buying on behalf of their clients. The Local Planet joint venture, established in December 2020, which has already generated material services revenues for the Group, presents a significant opportunity to provide further data services and the 4D product to the Local Planet agency network.
