Rowlett Rutland was a British company, and is now a brand of commercial-oriented toasters (for restaurants).
The first toasters were designed by Ted Rutland. It was known as the Rowlett Catering Appliances Ltd, being incorporated on 29 January 1965.[1] In January 2002, the company became known as Rowlett Rutland. The company was family-owned until 2016.
Harold Edward Rutland[2] died on 17 August 2004, aged 90.[3]
The company was headquartered in Little Bookham in Surrey, near Bookham railway station from 2002; it had been in Twickenham from 1957, and previously was at Burnt Oak. In 2016, the company was taken over, and the production was moved in December 2017.[4]
The company is not a high-volume operation, making around fifty toasters per day. It sells to around 20 countries, with 38% of products being exported.
