Setting our sights on big ambitions

Committed to making a positive impact!

Our mission is to deliver safe, dependable energy storage to show future generations how they can thrive in a low carbon environment.

Supporting our communities

Helping to reduce pollution and safeguard the natural environment by curbing our reliance on fossil fuels means healthier communities can enjoy a more sustainable lifestyle.

We want to make sure we make a positive social impact in other ways to so we've been getting involved with our local community.  Highlights so far include supporting Wolverhampton Pride and the England Veterans Football team when they took on arch rivals Wales in Solihull.

Keep scrolling to find out more about what we've been up to after we share how Lifos was born!

Where did it all begin?

Lifos started in 2017 as a brand of sister company Solar Technology International, when the Lifos Go range was born. Launched after extensive research and development, the Go range quickly became the number one brand of drop-in lithium batteries for caravan, marine and industrial users. 

Over the following years, Lifos extended its technical capability and was joined by some of the UK's finest lithium chemists, electrical engineers and CAD designers. 

In 2021, Lifos Advanced battery Technology became a separate company. Now operating in a state of the art facility in Telford, the newly formed Lifos accelerated its development program and in 2023 launched the Lifos Fort – a state of the art battery storage unit including solar panels for use in many applications where off-grid power is necessary, such as construction, civil engineering, festivals and location broadcasting. 

  

First stop...Wolverhampton Pride

From our Telford HQ we are keen to be a valued member of the local community by helping improve the lives of people in the town as we all the wider West Midlands area.

For Wolverhampton Pride we provided a Lifos Fort PV free of charge along with a team of volunteers to power communications and welfare cabins at the event to celebrate the city's LGBTQ+ community.  Below are Jack and Jodie getting ready to setup the Fort which is pictured alongside one of the welfare cabins. 

Doing our bit for the beautiful game

The Lifos team was also out in force to help with marshalling for the England Veterans Football team at their international match against Wales in Solihull

Investing in our people

Lifos provides its employees with the opportunity to grow their skills and understanding. This ranges from formal training through to supporting colleagues to gain external qualifications. Jodie Williams is seen here being presented with her certificate for having completed the Lifos Service Engineer Academy by MD Adrian Williams.

Supporting the local economy

We were able to successfully launch our British-made, award-winning Lifos fort because of the quality of our products.  This wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our suppliers. Where possible we source our parts from within a 70-mile radius of Telford so that the revenue feeds back into our local area as well as reducing carbon miles,

So far, we've been able to source 50% of parts (in value spend) from suppliers who are within this radius and we are constantly on the lookout for partners who can help us improve on this.

If you are a supplier to the high-tech world of lithium batteries based within 70 miles of our TF3 postcode and would like to find out more about working with Lifos please get in touch via hello@lifos.co.uk.

Striving to be Net Zero heroes

There's still a long way to go for us to realise our ambition and become a net zero contributor to greenhouse gases but we are pressing on with a range of initiatives to get us there.  We are also supporting others so they can meet their targets too. They include:

Lifos Fort packing shown below is fully reusable and recyclable

Part of our offices are powered by our own Lifos Fort so for at least 6 months of the year we have no need to use any fossil fuels for our power

The world-famous Glastonbury Festival needs renewable power for its Green Futures innovation centre to promote a greener, cleaner way of life to its visitors. Supplying a Lifos Fort and support staff at no cost to the festival helps people understand the power of renewables so that they are inspired to start their own journey to net zero.

The future's (bright) green

Without inspiring the next generation to become leaders in renewable technologies, the precarious position of the planet will only get worse.  Lifos is engaging with young people all over the world to deliver the message that there are solutions and the leaders of tomorrow can be fundamental in implementing the change.

We've got initiatives running in Africa as well as much closer to home

The University of Zimbabwe contacted us to ask for our help with a student project to design and build a non-harmful bird deterrent. Birds have a destructive impact on ground planted crops, whether in the seedling or fully grown stage. Lifos team member Richard Atwal mentored the students to create a non-harmful bird deterrent using renewable power. Click here to download the final report.

Lifos also donates miniature solar, battery and lighting equipment to local schools and we jump at the chance to give talks to students on the methods and benefits of harnessing renewable energy.
