Caroline is a new face on Flog It! but her experience speaks for itself. As a young woman, Caroline taught herself the trade buying and selling at major antique fairs around the UK, finding choice items to sell in her shops. With her own money at stake Caroline quickly learnt what sold well, and as her business grew she was able to indulge another of her passions – everything French!

Caroline started trading antiques on the other side of the Channel and now has a permanent base there. She even cemented her passion with a degree, graduating in French in 2010.
When she’s not enjoying French cuisine, countryside and culture, Caroline is working the rostrum at her auction house in Beverley alongside her husband John, who is also her business partner.
