Is Ogel Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Still after Ogel?We have not confirmed a current listing, so this searches Amazon for you.
Look for Ogel on AmazonFull story →Stockton founders Gary Giles and Alan Watts brought a modular building system to the Den, one made almost entirely from recycled waste plastic, in series 18.
The Stockton company is still producing today, and its patents now stretch well beyond the UK.
A Construction Business, Not a Gadget
Their ask was £50,000 in return for a 5 percent slice, pricing the whole venture at £1 million, a punchy number for what amounts to a construction-materials operation, and the kind of figure that usually draws sharper questions about production costs.
Sara Davies and Tej Lalvani backed the deal together at the original valuation, no renegotiation. Davies brought product development experience, and Lalvani brought the manufacturing background he built at Vitabiotics.
Slow, Deliberate Progress
Building materials companies take far longer to reach profitability than most product pitches on this show, since patents have to be filed and defended and manufacturing proven at scale before anyone will commit to using the material in a real structure.
Now operating as Ogel World, the firm has secured patent protection across mainland Europe, China, the US and the UK, and stretched its use cases past garden rooms to cover flood defence and disaster-relief shelters.
Sold By Quote, Not By Shelf
As a building materials product, there is no Amazon listing here, nor would you expect one. Orders go through direct enquiry via the company's own site.
That slow, methodical pace suits this category even if it lacks the drama of a viral consumer launch, and the international patent spread suggests the groundwork has genuinely been laid.
