Bio
Geoffrey Roe
Lisa has been a pleasure to work with for two years on the Q Hotels and Springboard partnership to inspire the next generation of talent into the hospitality industry. Lisa is extremely passionate about her company, her team and the industry. Always striving for innovative new ways of doing business, it was great partnering with Lisa to tackle the long term structural staffing challenges the industry faces with fresh new ideas. Would wholly recommend working with Lisa and we at Springboard are excited by what's to come.
Jill Whittaker OBE FCA FRSA FIH FBII
Lisa has been instrumental in bringing the Q Hotels apprenticeship strategy to fruition and has been integral to its multiple successes, including developing the initial recruitment campaign (for which Q Hotels won a Springboard award in 2016), and implementation of the overall apprenticeship strategy which won this year's Springboard Apprenticeship Strategy Award. I am very proud that HIT Training Ltd has partnered Lisa and her team in this award winning programme, not only creating roles for young people new to the hospitality industry but also developing and broadening the skills of existing staff. Lisa is always a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
