New workspace offers surf, climb and work

A West Edinburgh workspace is blending productivity with adventure sports.

Andy Hadden, founder of Lost Shore Surf Resort, Europe’s largest inland surfing destination, has launched The Lighthouse at the EICA, a premium flexible workspace inside the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, in Ratho. 

The facility accommodates up to 90 professionals across coworking spaces, private desks, offices and breakout areas.

Andy says members will have unrivalled access to adventure sports, with world-class surfing at Lost Shore, climbing in Europe’s largest indoor climbing arena, and cycling or running along the scenic Union Canal, all located just minutes from work.

Andy, founder of Tartan Commercial and Lost Shore, said: “When I set up Lost Shore Surf Resort, I wanted to create more than just a place to surf, it was about building a destination where lifestyle, sport and community could thrive together. 

“The Lighthouse at the EICA is the next stage of that vision.

“It’s a workspace that offers the best of both worlds: a fully equipped, professional environment where people can focus and collaborate, alongside instant access to activities that energise and inspire. 

“You can surf in the morning, work through the day, then go climbing or cycling before heading home, all without leaving the area.”

Nick Watson, managing director and co-owner of Tartan Commercial, added: “The world of work has changed. 

“People don’t just want a desk; they want a lifestyle. 

“At The Lighthouse at the EICA, you can finish a meeting and be surfing, climbing or cycling within minutes. 

“It’s a world-class workspace, surrounded by world-class sport, and a ready-made community of people who value productivity and wellbeing in equal measure - all on the doorstep of two of Europe’s largest sporting destinations. 

“There is nothing like it in the UK.”
