Our Team

You would undoubtedly have communicated in some way with our Sales Executive, Sarah Hogwood,.  She has been with GBA for over 11 years and is not only the main contact for purchases and sales inquiries but she is the backbone of the company.

Before joining GBA Sarah spent over 20 years in various areas of fine jewellery industry including retail, wholesale and design.

In her spare time Sarah loves gardening, cooking and listening to music and spending time with her family including her “fur babies”.

Scott is a born and bred Gold Coaster who has experience in commodities from agriculture through to metals. He spent 7 years in Asia and Europe where he was involved in the financing, marketing, trading and operations of various commodity businesses.

Scott works with Sarah helping our wholesale clients and our self-managed super fund customers; he also works with our suppliers and strategic partners.

Presently Scott is spreading himself between homes in Europe and Australia, with his partner Gemma and two young boys James and Nicholas.

Matt is another local Gold Coaster who has traveled and worked overseas and is now enjoying being back home. He has considerable experience in commodity markets in Australia and Asia, his skills are primarily focused on providing our customers with the most important tool they need to make intelligent investment decisions, that is “Information” about spot prices, stock availability, Metal Account Statements and everything to do with the GBA systems and processes.

Matt’s current focus is upgrading all GBA’s information systems which will provide more functionality in buying, selling, trading and storing gold and silver.

Bernadette has been a part of the GBA team for several years now and is familiar with the company and the precious metals industry. Bernie is not only your first contact with GBA, she is also key to assisting Sarah with Sales and running the office to ensure our customers have a great experience for each and every transaction.

Bernie’s Mum was part of the original GBA team, so she is a real long-term family member.  She has a large family to keep her very busy in her “spare time”.

Georgia is our marketing and communications Manager, she is focused on building the systems to keep our customers and sales team up to date via our website, social media, emails and written communication.
