Martin Lole
Award-winning British engineer and designer
Martin Lole is a leading, award-winning British engineer and designer best known for challenging the industry's status quo. With a passion for clever design and uncompromising build quality, Martin has launched several successful agricultural and amenity brands.
In his early 30’s Martin founded Spearhead and pioneered rotary mower design in the UK. By setting new standards in mowing, the brand was acquired by the Alamo Group and continues to operate to this day.

Martin Lole was the first to design and introduce the folding rotary mower into the UK - setting a new industry standard that's still widely used today
With a focus on innovation and a persistent desire to enhance farming practices, Martin went on to develop the Mzuri system on his farm in Worcestershire — an inventive direct drilling solution that has grown into the globally recognised brand, Mzuri World.
Mzuri World now operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing and research facility in Poland, serving the worldwide market, continuing the legacy.
In 2017, Martin’s career came full circle as he returned to his passion: vegetation management. With the launch of Razorback, he once again emphasised his trademark focus on clever design and premium build quality. Today, Razorback manufactures and imports a range of advanced equipment for agricultural and amenity professionals. Through a collaboration with Denmark’s GreenTec - an organisation with whom Martin shares a long-standing relationship - Razorback has firmly established itself as a leading supplier of innovative reach and rotary mowers serving the British market.

Spearhead is acquired by US firm Alamo Group to expand its range of brands in the industry. Martin purchases Springfield Farm, and begins to farm the 450-acre Evesham lias clay farm conventionally. It’s during this time that Martin began to appreciate the challenges posed by conventional establishment, and started the journey towards a better system.

Following continued feedback from customers wanting a return of Martin’s vegetation equipment, Razorback was launched, starting with the Auto-Level reach mower.
