Episode Guide

In this episode of Edinburgh Business Stories, we’re joined by Susan Jackson, Joint Managing Director of Campion, a five star housebuilder operating in one of the UK’s most demanding and male dominated industries.

Susan shares her experience of leading with confidence and respect in construction, reflecting on how the industry has changed, the importance of strong culture, and why encouraging more women into the sector still matters.

She also talks about how quality is built into everything Campion does, from director sign off on every home to constant customer feedback, and how leadership accountability underpins their five star rating. Drawing on her background as an elite target rifle shooter who represented Great Britain and Scotland at World Championships and Commonwealth Games, Susan explains how discipline, focus, and resilience learned in sport continue to shape her approach to business today.

This episode is full of insight for anyone leading teams, setting standards, or building a business where performance, resilience, and respect go hand in hand.
