What does it take to build a world class business and a strong culture from day one?

In this episode of Recruitment and Beyond, we speak with Andy Hadden, Founder of Lost Shore Surf Resort, a £60 million development on the edge of Edinburgh that is redefining destination leisure in Scotland.

Andy shares the journey from concept to launch, including how he turned an ambitious idea into one of the UK’s most exciting new ventures. At the centre of the conversation is a challenge faced by every growing organisation: how to build and protect a meaningful company culture.

We discuss:

• Why culture cannot be bought and takes time to develop
• Hiring in a startup environment and why mindset often outweighs experience
• The pressure growth places on culture
• The role of leadership and governance in maintaining standards
• Practical ways to keep teams engaged as organisations scale

This episode is essential listening for founders, HR professionals and leaders thinking seriously about culture in high growth environments.
