Fixed Term Contract - Am I definitely going to get redundancy once the 4 years is up?

I do not work for an agency. I work for Company A, who has outsourced me to Company B since day one on 3 month fixed term contracts. My employment position does not exist with Company A whom I work for, it only exists with Company B. I am currently on fixed term contract number 14 (covering 3 years, 6 months).
I have read that an employer can actually give a further fixed term contract beyond the four year limit if there are 'subjective grounds for doing so'. This is where I get lost!
Can anyone confirm what my chances are for redundancy, considering the fact that my employment position is NOT with the company I actually work for? I'm thinking this would be subjective grounds for renewing my fixed term contract beyond the 4 year limit. All thoughts welcome….
 
These (rolling sub-contracts) are devilish.Can be for good reasons or bad reasons eg avoiding potential redundancy payouts or pension contributions.

If there is a Union in either Company , have a word with the Union rep.
They are generally up to date on these things. May have o join union but a small price for cover.
