A Scottish hospitality company is to take on new staff for a new restaurant venture.
Buzzworks said the new business is expected to âgenerate more than 60 new jobs for the local economyâ.
The firm said progress is being made at Lido Musselburgh as work begins on the new café, bar, and restaurant, set to open this winter.
Colin Blair, Buzzworksâ chairman, said that several major milestones have already been reached, marking further progress on the new venue.
The firms said: âFollowing on from the success of sister venues already operating in Troon and Prestwick, fitting works have started on the companyâs third Lido opening, representing the family-run businessâ first venture into Musselburgh and generating more than 60 new jobs for the local economy.
âAir conditioning is now being installed across the venue, while partition walls have been completed to shape the bathrooms, kitchen, and back-of-house areas. Essential infrastructure for the bar and kitchen, including floor drains, has been installed, and the mains gas supply - powering the much-anticipated pizza oven - has been connected.
âAdditionally, tiles and timber flooring are due to arrive next week, and kitchen equipment is set to be installed ensuring Lido is equipped with the very best.â
Mr Blair said: "Itâs a great moment for Buzzworks to see the progress at Lido Musselburgh and begin installations for our soon-to-open 21st venue.
âWith the building really starting to take shape and our recruitment drive in full swing, weâre getting closer to welcoming our guests into what will be a vibrant and stylish space for the whole community.â
Vivien Bryan, resourcing partner at Buzzworks, said: âWe are very excited to become part of the Musselburgh community, offering local jobs to local people. As Lido continues to build its team, there are some exciting opportunities available for full & part time positions across both front-of-house and kitchen teams.
âWe will be holding Recruitment Open Days on the 29th & 30th of October and extend a warm welcome to anyone interested in being part of this exciting new developmentâ. Find out more here.

SNP government's relationship with Scottish firms âdeterioratingâ
Two-thirds of Scottish firms believe the SNP administration does not understand the business environment in Scotland.
The results of new research suggest that the Scottish Governmentâs New Deal for Business initiative has done little to turn the tide with the business community, with signs the relationship "has either stagnated or deteriorated further".
The study shows nine per cent of Scottish firms agree that the Scottish Government understands the business environment in Scotland, compared to 64 per cent of businesses that disagree.
