Meet the Team​

A committed and long-standing member of the Company, Katrina’s focus is on the smooth running of the Deep Blue office and the welfare of her staff. In her role as Office Manager, Katrina is responsible for the recruitment and supervision of the administration and Paraplanner workforce along with the interviewing and short-listing of potential Deep Blue consultants. Her dedication to Deep Blue Financial and her longevity as Office Manager mean that she is a highly respected member of the senior management team.
Katrina is very much a family orientated person with a wide circle of close friends. Specialising in cooking for the masses, Katrina’s house is never empty at the weekend! Her ideal lunch partner would undoubtedly be Michael Ball – he would definitely be welcome at her dinner table.
