S Jones Conversions returns to fire safety event 2026
S Jones Conversions will exhibit a modified 20ft side-opening container stand at The Fire Safety Event at the NEC Birmingham from 28 to 30 April 2026.
The company confirmed its return following its previous appearance at the event, where it hosted a seminar on lithium-ion battery manufacture and storage with industry representatives.
The exhibitor stand will be located at position 4/H35 and will allow visitors to enter the container to access digital and virtual displays.
Container solutions and lithium-ion battery safety focus
S Jones Conversions stated that visitors will be able to view virtual 3D modelled tours of containerised engineered solutions including battery storage units, switchgear enclosures, water treatment systems and compressor housing.
Each unit is manufactured at its Aldridge workshop and designed to meet specific industry requirements, with visitors able to examine internal layouts, configurations and installed safety and fire protection systems.
A virtual reality tour of the company’s battery storage unit will also be available for visitors.
Andrew Nicholls, Head of Conversions at S Jones Containers said: “In the past 12 months it’s encouraging to see that regulations are changing as the Product Regulation and Metrology Act has now been passed by Parliament, which is a step in the right direction.
“But in our opinion, there is still a long way to go in terms of raising awareness of the hazards of working with and storing lithium-ion batteries.
“We’ll continue to be a passionate advocate for change and improved safety in this area.
“This year we’re excited to show the fire safety community at the Fire Safety Event what our products can do in a practical way to protect people, equipment, and infrastructure from fire, explosion, and electrical hazards including those posed by lithium-ion batteries.
“Our stand is a blank canvas and once inside the container, visitors can see our virtual tours to understand how we can reconfigure the space to suit numerous different industrial uses.
“We’ll also have a VR tour of our battery storage unit for visitors to experience as our most specified product.
“If you’re at the show, come meet me and my team and see how we can support your next project.”
The company previously hosted a seminar featuring representatives from Electrical Safety First, the Fire Protection Association and Warwick Manufacturing Group.
