Practice Manager, Cathedral Wealth Management

Before joining Cathedral Wealth Management, Charlotte was working as a cabin manager in the airline industry. She likes to think she brings a diverse range of skills to her role, most importantly her experience with a wide range of people throughout the years of working in a customer facing management role.

When not working, Charlote is usually with her husband and two children, on countryside walks, at the park or exploring at the beach.

Sally runs her own business, Austin Wealth Management, which is a partner practice of St James’s Place. She works alongside Brad and his team at Cathedral Wealth to help maintain their incredibly high standards of customer care. Her ethos is very simple; to ensure financial peace of mind for her clients, speaking in plain English and demystifying the sometimes complicated world of finance.

She was born and raised in Rose Green, moving to Lavant in 2008 where she still lives with her husband Tim. She has a grown-up daughter, a beautiful granddaughter and a baby Grandson.

In her spare time, as when she’s not helping people with their financial wellbeing or being a Nana, Sally loves to travel, dine out and spend time with her family and friends.
