A GREENER WAY OF WORKING

Green By Name, Green By Nature

At Mor Workspace, sustainability isn’t just something we think about – it’s part of who we are.
Founded in 2015, Mor Workspace began with a vision to create a thriving professional community in the heart of Newquay. A place where businesses could create, connect and collaborate, with inspiring private offices, co-working desks, meeting spaces and virtual office services.
From the very beginning, we’ve believed that creating a great place to work should go hand in hand with caring for the environment around us.
Today, that commitment continues to shape everything from how we power and manage our building to the everyday choices we make as a community. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more excited about what’s still to come.

Giving Old Spaces New Life

THOUGHTFUL RENNOVATIONS, LASTING IMAPACT
Sustainability has been woven into the fabric of Mor Workspace since day one.
When transforming our building into the workspace it is today, we embraced a simple philosophy: make the most of what already exists.
Rather than starting from scratch, our extensive renovations focused on celebrating the building’s heritage, preserving its character and giving existing materials a new lease of life.
Wherever possible, original fixtures, materials and architectural features were retained, restored or repurposed. Not only did this help minimise waste, but it also created the distinctive character and welcoming atmosphere that make Mor Workspace such a special place to work.
It’s an approach that continues to inspire us today – finding creative, considered ways to improve our spaces while reducing our environmental impact.

Small Changes, Everyday Impact

MAKING SUSTAINABILITY PARTY OF OUR WORKING DAY
We believe that meaningful change comes from the little things we do consistently.
That’s why we’re always looking for practical ways to make our everyday workspace operations more efficient and environmentally conscious.
From automatic sensor lighting and smart heating controls to making the most of natural airflow during the warmer months, we’re continually finding ways to manage our energy use more thoughtfully.
We’re equally mindful of water consumption, encouraging efficient dishwasher use and sharing friendly reminders around the building to help everyone reduce unnecessary water and electricity use.
They’re simple steps, but when they become part of our everyday routine, they help us build a more sustainable workspace together.

Growing a Greener Community

BETTER TOGETHER, NATURALLY
Sustainability at Mor Workspace goes beyond the building. It’s about bringing people together, sharing ideas and creating opportunities for our members to get involved.

Our Community Herb Garden
One of our latest initiatives is a community herb garden – a shared green space where members can get their hands dirty, grow something wonderful and enjoy the rewards together.
With a dedicated potting shed and the tools needed to nurture the garden throughout the seasons, it’s a project designed to evolve with our community.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply fancy stepping away from your desk for a little fresh air, everyone is welcome to get involved.

A Little Nature on Our Doorstep
We’re lucky to have an abundance of natural beauty surrounding Mor Workspace.
Our grounds are home to established trees, hedgerows and seasonal delights, including blackberries, sloes, apples and elderflowers.
These natural spaces bring a little extra life to the working day, offering members the opportunity to enjoy the changing seasons and reconnect with the outdoors without venturing far from their desks.

Encouraging Greener Journeys
With secure, covered bicycle storage available on site, we’re making it easier for members to swap four wheels for two.
Cycling to work is a great way to enjoy Newquay’s fresh coastal air, build movement into the day and reduce reliance on car journeys.
And, being based in Newquay, we couldn’t forget the surf!
Our dedicated Surf Store is designed to make embracing the coastal lifestyle as easy as possible.
Complete with secure passcode access, board racks, wetsuit hangers, a hot shower and a changing area, it means members can make the most of the ocean before work, during lunch or as the sun goes down.
Because we believe a great working day should leave room for the things that make living and working in Cornwall so special.

Supporting the Place We Call Home

A LOVE FOR OUR COAST, A COMMITMENT TO OUR FUTURE
Newquay is more than just where we’re based. It’s our home, our inspiration and a huge part of what makes Mor Workspace who we are.
With the Atlantic Ocean on our doorstep and Cornwall’s incredible coastline all around us, protecting our natural environment is something we feel deeply connected to.
That’s why we’re proud to have supported the Ocean Network for seven years, helping champion its work to protect and preserve the marine environment.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our own four walls. By supporting organisations and initiatives that care for our coastline and local environment, we hope to play our part in protecting the place we love for generations to come.

Investing in a More Sustainable Future

BIG IDEAS, POSITIVE CHANGES
Over the years, we’ve continued to explore new technologies and improvements that can help us operate more efficiently and reduce our reliance on traditional energy sources. Two of our most recent projects represent exciting steps forward in that journey.

Harnessing the Power of the Sun
Our 64-panel solar installation was an ambition five years in the making – and one we’re incredibly proud to have brought to life.
Installed in June 2026, the system allows us to generate renewable electricity right here at Mor Workspace, helping reduce the amount of electricity we need to draw from the grid.
It’s a significant investment in our building’s future and an exciting milestone in our ongoing sustainability journey.

Smarter, More Efficient Heating
We’ve also invested in an innovative OH4 system, which uses magnetic frequencies to help water move more efficiently and improve how heat travels through our heating system, keeping our building warm while using less energy.
Exploring smarter ways to use energy is just one of the steps we’re taking to create a greener, more sustainable workspace. These improvements reflect our commitment to making considered, long-term investments that benefit both our workspace and the environment.

What’s Next for Mor Workspace?

ALWAYS LEARNING, ALWAYS IMPROVING
More than a decade since opening our doors, one thing hasn’t changed: our determination to keep finding better ways of doing things.
We know sustainability isn’t a destination or a box to tick. It’s an ongoing journey of learning, adapting and making positive changes wherever we can.
Looking ahead, we’re exploring several new opportunities to make our workspace even more resource-efficient, including:

– Rainwater harvesting – investigating ways to collect and make use of rainwater.
– Greywater reuse – exploring opportunities to reuse water from around the workspace to give it a second lease of life.
– Solar-powered water heating – looking at how we can harness more renewable energy to meet our building’s hot water needs.

These projects are still in the early stages, but they reflect our long-term ambition to continue improving the way Mor Workspace operates. We’re excited to see where the next chapter takes us.

A Greener Way to Work, Together
