The design of the whistling kettle and energy saving models was patented and the brand name ‘Simplex’ was officially registered in the 1930s. The Simplex Beehive kettle was launched in the 1950s. The Simplex kettle was such a roaring success that it became a household name – and a cherished member of the home adorning many kitchens across the globe.
