Allett

Few brands in garden machinery can trace their origins as vividly as Allett. Founded by Reg Allett in 1965 in Stamford, England, the company was born from a lifelong passion for engineering and a determination to build a better mower at a realistic price. The very first production Allett mower, serial number 66001, rolled out of that small workshop in 1965, and it was immediately adopted by sports grounds, cricket clubs, and royal estates across the United Kingdom. Today, that original machine sits proudly in the reception area of Allett’s headquarters in Hixon, Staffordshire — a symbol of the craftsmanship that has defined the brand for six decades.

In 2007, Allett became part of the Turfmech Group, bringing investment in modern manufacturing facilities while preserving the entirely British ownership and production heritage that sets the brand apart. A landmark moment came in 2011, when Allett acquired the manufacturing intellectual property behind the former Atco and Suffolk Punch cylinder mower ranges, further cementing its position as the foremost producer of walk-behind cylinder mowers in the UK.

What makes Allett mowers exceptional is their precision. The brand’s cylinder-cut technology — perfected over more than 50 years — delivers a scissor-like, clean cut that rotary mowers simply cannot replicate. The result is a lawn with outstanding stripe definition, levelness of finish, and stronger grass that is more resistant to disease. From the interchangeable C-Range cartridge system, which transforms one machine into a scarifier, a lawn groomer, or a brush, to the zero-emission Evolution battery range designed for sports stadiums and luxury lawns alike, Allett continues to set the standard for what a premium cylinder mower should be.

Today, Allett mowers are trusted by professional groundskeepers at football clubs, test cricket grounds, and royal estates worldwide. For the dedicated home lawn enthusiast who demands a sports-quality finish, there is simply no finer choice.
