2003: Lift Off

The X1-R was launched and immediately caused a huge splash in the industry.

Today’s Golfer dedicated 2 full pages to the launch, calling the machine "half golf trolley, half Learjet".

This was the world’s first remote golf trolley, inspired and designed intentionally to look like a sports car; than a golf trolley.

Incredible coverage followed, with the X1R even appearing in GQ Magazine’s ‘100 Coolest Things’ list alongside the Range Rover Sport.

Roy Stewart lived to see the launch of the X1-R but sadly passed away at the end of 2003.

Born British

Every single electric trolley Stewart Golf have ever made has been built in Great Britain.

As a company founded, owned and run by engineers, it's in Stewart's blood to design and make things.

In an era where seemingly every product is imported from an anonymous factory in the far east, it was always their goal to build their machines in Great Britain.

The model pictured was Mark Stewart's reaction to the assumption that everything was made in China. The Union Jack machine was the centrepiece of Stewart's golf show stands for many years.

2011: Power to the People

The introduction of the X7 meant Stewart was the first trolley brand in Great Britain to be 100% lithium powered.

Anyone who has ever had to handle an old lead acid car battery knows they are heavy and easy to mistreat or damage.

After launching the F1 Lithium, they searched for a technology that could replace the lead acid batteries in the X Series as well.

By 2011 and the X7 Lithium, Stewart was the first trolley brand in GB to exclusively supply lithium batteries to their customers. The rest of the industry would follow suit over the next decade.

2014: Follow the Leader

Follow is released alongside a new remote control system after four years of development.

Another world first: The X9 Follow offered the combination of remote control AND Follow before any other brand.

The Follow feature allows for completely handsfree operation: levels of enjoyment and relaxation on the golf course were taken to a new level.

A totally new electronics system combining electromagnetic fields with Bluetooth control was at the heart of the new machine. Despite all this technological advancement, the only visual difference was the red antennas tucked under each wheel arch.

2020: Q-Branch is Open

A new breed of Stewart Golf machine for the modern golfer.

The Q Series was the first new 'ground up' electric trolley design since the F1 Lithium. The brief this time was to reproduce the performance of the X Series, but design an architecture that would fold smaller and have a more reserved aesthetic.

The ground breaking design that resulted features a microcellular composite structure and a patent-pending, automatically deploying stabilizer arm.

Innovative. Practical. Beautiful.

Winners

Innovation and high performance underpin everything Stewart does.

Stewart is often recognized for their products, innovation and their business. In 2022 they were also named by The Sunday Times as one of the UK's 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies.

This was in recognition of Stewart's rapid expansion between 2019 and 2022 where they grew almost 3x.

Also in 2022 alone, Stewart picked up accolades from Today’s Golfer, Golf Monthly, T3 Magazine, MyGolfSpy, Business Insider, Golf Inc Magazine and PluggedInGolf.

Stewart Values

The quality of products a company makes can be no higher than the quality of the people that make them.

To the outside world, Stewart is all about world class golf trolleys. But inside Stewart Golf, they are all about world class people and values. Stewart's values are: Team Player, Positive, Respectful and Take Pride.

Great people with great values make for a great place to work, which produces exceptional products.

Playing Their Part

Stewart has hundreds of solar panels, a zero-to-landfill waste policy and a fleet of EV's.

Stewart wants their legacy to be about more than great golf trolleys.

The factory they bought in 2017 is now covered with thousands of square feet of solar panels which provide the vast majority of the power needed to build trolleys, and then anything left over goes back to the grid.

The company has a growing fleet of fully electric vehicles, and not a single scrap of the waste that they produce goes into landfill.

2024: Better Never Stops

Stewart is always looking to the future, constantly innovating and coming up with new ways to enjoy the beautiful game of golf.

Their goal is to carry on doing what they've been doing since Roy Stewart's first idea: to change how the world plays golf, one machine at a time.
