Catherine Sandland - Committee Member
White Hart training
Catherine Sandland a.k.a Presenting Queen, works with women in business to raise their levels of confidence, skill, impact and influence in preparing and delivering presentations. Confidence because often women sabotage their presentations before they even speak. Skill because speaking in public is a skill which can be learned – even by those who are ‘twitchy’ about it! Impact because unless we get ourselves heard, then we miss out on being able to influence events and people around us. Influence because if we seek to make a difference and see change, then we need to be able to influence people to take action.

Able Web Design
Your website should be your online ‘shop window’. Maintaining and updating your website is really important in today’s tech savvy business world. Google prioritises websites on relevant and fresh content and so keeping your site up to date has never been more important.
The back end of your site should also be kept up to date to make sure it’s as ‘virus proof’ as it can be.
If all this sounds daunting and time consuming, don’t worry, I can help.
Providing web services I can:
- Backup and update your files
- Update your existing site
- Update and add content to your site
For those of you who don’t yet have a website, I can provide web and email hosting and create a fantastic website which reflects you and your business.

Carla Brown
Oakmere Wealth Management
At Oakmere Wealth Management we do things differently. We are a multi-award winning practice, and we firmly believe that true wealth is about more than just money, and that financial planning is about people and not products. We advocate a client centred approach to true lifestyle financial planning, and all our clients have their own bespoke financial plan which is regularly reviewed.
Our aim is to enable our clients live their best lives by helping them achieve financial freedom, whatever that looks like for them. We work with our clients to coach them to make sensible financial decisions and avoid expensive mistakes.
Financial wellbeing and the concept of it is discussed with every client – it is important that our clients understand the benefit of this relationship/lifestyle-based planning, so they see the value to them and their families.
We have promoted and delivered lifestyle financial planning to our clients since the inception of Oakmere Wealth Management, 10 years ago – one of the main reasons for establishing Oakmere was so that I could follow my passion for relationship/lifestyle-based financial planning.
Our office is in Cheshire but we have clients all over the UK and can offer meetings virtually or in person and we have a team of highly skilled individuals supporting our financial planners.
