Two New Etesia Dealers Appointed: Etesia UK is proud to announce the appointment of two new dealers, Luxury Carts Group and Agri-Services Ltd, to cover the West of Scotland, the Highlands, and the central belt.

These appointments ensure continued access to Etesia’s high-performance grass-cutting and green-maintenance equipment following the retirement of Alex McDougall Mowers, who provided loyal service to the Etesia brand for over 30 years.

Les Malin, Managing Director of Etesia UK, expressed his gratitude and optimism for the future: “We thank Alex McDougall Mowers for their decades of dedicated service to Etesia. As they retire, we welcome two new dealers into the network to continue serving these key areas: Luxury Carts and Agri-Services. Both dealers share our commitment to providing exceptional customer service and high-quality machinery, and we are excited about the opportunities this brings.”

Based in Denny, Falkirk, Luxury Carts Group has built its reputation on providing luxury golf cart sales alongside a growing portfolio of turf maintenance equipment. This family-run business is expanding its offerings with the addition of Etesia’s renowned products.

Luxury Carts will offer a variety of Etesia’s leading products including walk-behind and ride-on mowers, as well as brushcutters, which are known for their durability, wet-weather performance, and precise grass collection.

Agri-Services Ltd, based in Kilmarnock, is a well-established family business that has served customers in agriculture, horticulture, and grounds care since the 1970s. Now in its third generation, the company continues to grow under the leadership of Director Chris Moir.

Chris shared his excitement about the partnership: “I’ve known about Etesia for a long time and have always admired their machines. When the opportunity arose to take on the dealership after the previous dealer retired, it was a natural fit for us. These machines are exactly what our customers need—reliable, robust, and capable of collecting even in the wettest conditions.”

Agri-Services caters to a wide range of clients, including farmers, golf courses, private estates, and councils. With several demonstrations already planned, Chris is confident the Etesia range will resonate strongly with their predominantly commercial customer base.

“We’re excited to push the Etesia brand forward through our company and ensure its legacy continues with the next generation,” Chris added.

Since 1989, Etesia has been at the forefront of grass-cutting technology. Their lineup includes pedestrian and ride-on mowers, the popular Attila range of brushcutters, and the award-winning ET Lander—a fully electric utility vehicle. Renowned for exceptional performance in all weather conditions, Etesia machines are trusted by landscapers, local authorities, and private estate managers alike.

With the addition of Luxury Carts Group and Agri-Services to the Etesia dealer network, customers from the West of Scotland can expect unparalleled service, expert advice, and access to Etesia’s cutting-edge products.
