The origin of Jackson's Miniatures goes back to "The Welsh Doll House" in Abergavenny (South Wales), which was opened by Vera Jackson in 1989. As well as selling generally available doll house miniatures in her shop, Vera developed her own line of products, and gradually other businesses began to purchase them from her to sell in their own shops. In 1993 Vera decided to sell "The Welsh Doll House" (which has since closed) and concentrate on supplying trade customers with her unique and expanding range of "Jackson's Miniatures".
In 1994 the business moved from Abergavenny and was briefly located in Dorset and Devon, before moving to Epsom, Surrey, in 1995, where it remained for 7 years. In that time, Jackson's Miniatures prospered and grew, and in 2002 Vera persuaded her son, Steve, to take over running the business on a full time basis. He had been helping with the administrative side of Jackson's Miniatures for a while, but he was beginning to find that his part time job was taking up more time than his full time job in London!
As part of the change in management the business was incorporated as a limited company and moved to its current premises in Gillingham, Dorset.
