One of East Lothian’s largest industrial lettings this year completes
Open Safety Equipment, a global specialist in designing and manufacturing diving rebreather apparatus, is taking 7,500 square feet, spanning two workshops, office space and stores, plus a quarter acre of yard, at Newhailes Industrial Estate.
Iain Mercer, director of commercial agency (east) at Allied Surveyors, which completed the deal, said it was one of the region’s largest industrial lettings in 2021.

“This property offered Open Safety the expansion space they desired in a strong location with good communication links.”
Also in East Lothian Allied Surveyors recently acted for beautician business That Rosie Glow in acquiring a new ten-year lease from landlord London and Cambridge Properties at 13 Market Place in North Berwick.
“That Rosie Glow had been searching for a unit in East Lothian for a while with North Berwick the preferred location to open their second outlet,” added Mercer.
