There were some growing pains with that, but overall, it paid dividends for us.” Going forward, Kline believes that with the pop- ulation on Cayman continuing to grow, as well, Encompass may be able to double in size over the next 15 to 20 years and even expand its offerings. “We’re seeing the government doing some infra- structure projects, and there are some very large developers who are building resorts and ameni- ties,” he states. “So, our opportunity to work on the fringes of that is pretty strong.We see some big opportunities on the development side – things like warehousing and affordable housing. Most of our housing here is very expensive and we defi- nitely have a need for affordable housing. And on the storage side, as we keep attracting more and more businesses, with office space being ex- tremely expensive, they’ll need storage offsite. So there are some good opportunities there on the development side.” Encompass has also been able to draw some outside investment. “We’re attracting venture capitalists and other investors who feel very con- fident about putting their money into our hands to deploy and manage,” Kline declares. “So, we see opportunities to do some joint ventures with a lot of private financing for small beach resorts and boutique hotels, as well as affordable housing. We feel that there’s a huge opportunity for us for growth in the future, especially since the Cayman Islands are growing.And we’re in a great position to take advantage of that.Our company has grown exponentially over the six years that we’ve been in business, and I feel like we’re just getting started.” www.decoratorsunlimited.com 561-215-7615 // 561-625-3000 Jlynn@DecoratorsUnlimited.com // www.decoratorsunlimited.com Bringing livable luxury to the islands for over 15 years Wherever you reside, our award-winning interior designers can transform your home from unimaginative to unbelievable.

Tibbetts, who purchased a half in- terest in the six-year old Cox Supply Compa- ny in the United States, which later became the Cox Lumber Co. Twelve years later, Tibbetts purchased the remaining half of the company and set his sights on becoming the largest independently-owned lumber and building materials supplier in the state of Florida, and the largest roof and floor truss company in the Southeast United States. In 2006, the Tibbetts Family sold Cox Lumber Co. to The Home Depot after posting record sales of $396 million in 2005, with 28 loca- tions including 11 truss plants and 15 door plants in Florida and the Cayman Islands. In 2009 the Tibbetts Family decided to re-enter the lumber business in Florida by establishing Tibbetts Lumber Co. with one small location in St. Petersburg. Today, the company has five locations in Florida and three Cox Lumber Ltd. locations in Grand Cayman. 2015 marked a new era for Cox Lumber Ltd., with their newest flagship store opening in Bodden Town to support the future growth in a facility large enough to handle the construction needs across Grand Cayman for years to come. An additional facility in the industrial area of George Town, handles the building of trusses and the man- ufacturing of rebar. n Decorators Unlimited www.DecoratorsUnlimited.com n Advance Fire & Plumbing www.advancefireltd.com ENCOMPASS LIMITED
