Katrania Lowers Wins the Paul Etheridge Future Leader Award

The award recognises emerging talent and individuals who demonstrate strong potential to shape the future of the financial planning profession. We are incredibly proud of Kat and everything she has achieved so early in her career – if she represents the standard for future leadership and inspiration, we are confident that financial planning is in safe hands.

Commenting on this year’s winners, Chris Morris, Chartered MCSI, CISI Head of Financial Planning Policy & Engagement, said of the award recipients: “Their achievements show the next generation of talent what a rewarding, purposeful and progressive career in financial planning can look like. They are raising the bar today while helping to build a stronger, more ambitious profession for tomorrow.”

It has been an exceptional year for Kat, whose commitment continues to earn well-deserved industry recognition. Awards like this reflect proven dedication, consistent effort and hard work.

Alongside excelling in her role as a financial planner, Kat has devoted considerable time and energy to developing two financial education brands, MoneyKats and The Rich Formula. Recognising that not everyone has direct access to a financial planner, and that many people simply need somewhere to begin, she is creating accessible platforms designed to support wider audiences.

Through her active promotion of financial wellbeing, Kat is helping people build confidence in managing their finances. Simultaneously, she is also inspiring the next generation of planners by showing it’s a profession everyone can enter and thrive in.

Speaking about her win, Kat said: “It’s such an honour, and I’m genuinely humbled to have received it, particularly knowing the legacy behind the award.”

Paul Etheridge has always been a great inspiration in financial planning, and it’s wonderful to see his legacy remembered and his wisdom passed on to young professionals. Congratulations Kat!
