Prestige Property Building success Caroline admits it’s hardly a typical business for a woman to take on, but Caroline Scott-Jackson has done just that as the owner of Bembridge Building Supplies Ltd. Since opening the business in 2012 - on the very day that her youngest child started school - she’s been on a rapid learning curve, getting to grips with a massive product range that encompasses everything from timber, plasterboard, various building tools to sand, aggregates and electrics. Caroline also gets stuck in driving the digger around the yard loading trucks with aggregates, having attended professional plant driving courses. Meanwhile, the business has gone from strength to strength over the past five years with an ever growing stock that is building to cater for most people’s needs in DIY. Local tradesmen particularly appreciate the free local delivery service around Bembridge, St Helens and Seaview. Caroline, whose husband is a builder, says her business welcomes a whole range of customers, from DIY enthusiasts to trade professionals. “We work hard to ensure that everything is available at the best possible prices” she says. So whether you need anything from general aggregates to a simple pack of nails or screws, the friendly team will be more than happy to help.
