Background

Omlet Ltd was founded in 2004 by James Tuthil, Johannes Paul, Simon Nicholls and William Windham. The company's introductory product, the Eglu, has won a number of awards, including the BSI Design Award and the Horners Award. It comes in several colours, and features a run of 220 centimetres (about 7 feet). The Eglu itself is roughly 80 centimetres (2 feet, 8 inches) long and wide. The company also sells exactly the same models for rabbits and guinea pigs.

Markets and marketing

Since its founding, Omlet has grown into one of the largest chicken house retailers in the United Kingdom. The company is based in Wardington, Great Britain, and sells to customers worldwide including the U.S., Germany, France and Holland.

gollark: So I guess if you consider license costs our terrestrial TV is *not* free and costs a bit more than Netflix and stuff. Oops.
gollark: - it funds the BBC, but you have to pay it if you watch *any* live TV, or watch BBC content online- it's per property, not per person, so if you have a license, and go somewhere without a license, and watch TV on some of your stuff, you are breaking the law (unless your thing is running entirely on battery power and not mains-connected?)- it costs about twice as much as online subscription service things- there are still black and white licenses which cost a third of the priceBut the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
gollark: Hold on, I wrote a summary ages ago.
gollark: TV licenses aren't EXACTLY that, they're weirder.
gollark: The UK does free terrestrial TV, I don't think satellite is much of a thing here.
