Aluminium Fire Systems will be exhibiting at The Fire Safety Event 2026, taking place at Hall 4, NEC Birmingham from 28th to 30th April. You can find us at Stand B20-10 across all three days. Whether you want to talk about fire rated products, pick up some free merch or take part in our stand activities, we would love to see you there.
What is The Fire Safety Event?
The Fire Safety Event brings together leading manufacturers and suppliers to showcase their latest approved products and solutions. It is dedicated to supporting industry practitioners, professionals and organisations in achieving and maintaining the highest standards of fire safety management.
The event is co-located with The Security Event, The Health & Safety Event, The Workplace Event and The National Cyber Security Show, forming The Safety & Security Series. With a single registration, delegates have access to all five shows. Attendance is free and free parking is also available on-site at the NEC.
This year the event is expecting over 13,500 industry professionals, with 300 or more exhibitors taking part. Attendees span a wide range of sectors including government and public services, construction and building, healthcare, education and facilities management.
Why Attend The Fire Safety Event 2026?
The Fire Safety Event is one of the most valuable dates in the calendar for anyone working in or around fire safety. Here is what you can expect from the three days:
You will get to see the latest fire safety solutions across fire prevention, suppression, detection and smart buildings, all under one roof. Live demonstrations give you a real sense of how these products perform in practice, rather than just on paper.
There is also a strong networking element. Industry representatives from organisations including Sky, Sainsbury’s, BMW, JLR, the NHS, BT, EDF, the British Council, Capita and Centre Parcs are expected to attend, alongside thousands of other professionals from across the sector.
If you are looking to develop your knowledge, the event offers CPD-accredited sessions delivered by government officials, lawyers and manufacturers, so you can leave with points logged and practical insight gained.
Find Us at Stand B20-10
Our team will be at Stand B20-10 in Hall 4 for the full three days. Come and speak to us about our range of fire rated aluminium windows and fire rated aluminium doors, ask us anything about our systems or find out how we can support your next project.
If you already know what you are looking for before the event, you can browse our full product range ahead of time so you come prepared with questions.
Who Is Responsible for the Golden Thread?
Responsibility for the golden thread is not fixed to one person or organisation. It moves through the building’s life, shifting between the design and construction teams and then to whoever takes on accountability during occupation. What does not change is the expectation that someone is always responsible and that the thread is never allowed to break.
Our Hidden Flame Hunt
We are hiding flame tickets throughout the event across all three days. Keep your eyes open as you walk the halls because they could be tucked away anywhere. Each one is numbered, and if you find one, bring it along to Stand 4/B20-10 to reveal your prize for a chance to win a £100 amazon gift card and other prizes.
Guess the Fireballs
As well as the ticket hunt, we are running a guessing game on our stand. A jar filled with fireballs will be on display throughout the event and you will have the chance to put forward your best guess at how many are inside. Simple in theory, harder than it looks.
Pick Up Your Free AFS Merch
We are bringing plenty of goodies with us to the NEC. Visitors to Stand B/20-10 can pick up AFS pens, trolley coins and tote bags while stocks last. A good excuse to swing by if you need one.
Why Visit the Aluminium Fire Systems Stand?
We manufacture fire rated aluminium systems that are tested, certified and built for real projects. Our team works directly with architects, contractors and specifiers across the UK, and the stand is a great opportunity to put faces to names, ask technical questions and see what we have been working on.
If you cannot make it to the event or want to get in touch ahead of it, you can always reach us through our contact page or give us a call on (+44) 121 277 4870.
