Lisa won our Supplier personality of the year award in 2022 and is nominated every year, the team love working with her!”

Lisa Fitzell, Managing Director – Elegant Resorts

“An outstanding sales and marketing leader”

“Lisa was a key part of the PER AQUUM leadership team over a 10-year period. she worked closely with me, the hotels and our senior management team to oversee sales and marketing strategy in the UK. Lisa was also involved in other aspects of the PER AQUUM business as the brand went through rapid growth and development.  Her contribution was vital in the successful positioning of our luxury resort portfolio and specifically our premium resort;  Desert Palm in Dubai, Huvafen Fushi in Maldives, as well as the launch of Niyama in the Maldives in 2012.

As a small but premium luxury brand, we often very successfully competed for market share against much more established luxury hotel groups.  Lisa’s pro-active, flexible approach and passion for PER AQUUM contributed to our successful partnerships within the travel industry. She was an outstanding sales and marketing leader and a true professional.”

Neil Palmer, Chief Operating Officer – Six Senses Resorts Hotels Spas (previously CEO PER AQUUM)

“Amazing capacity to listen”

“I have known and worked with Lisa for over the past 5 years, as a strategic Sales and marketing consultant with in-depth knowledge in destination marketing and sales and specific knowledge of Sri Lanka as a destination. She has an amazing capacity to listen, interpret and problem solve and has worked well with our team based in Sri Lanka. Over the years Lisa’s assistance has been both invaluable and effective.

Finally in my capacity as Owner and Managing Director of UGA, I have worked alongside Lisa and have seen her role develop and while she builds (for UGA) excellent rapports with our clients, and her work continues to deliver real results. Lisa’s all-round skills and her brilliant attitude make her someone I am happy to recommend.”

Priyanjith Weerasooria, Managing Director – Uga Escapes PVT Ltd

“Utterly reliable”

“Lisa has excellent contacts and warm relationships with all the key people in travel.  She is a candid and supportive business partner who is utterly reliable.  She delivers what she promises.”

Pippa Isbell, Partner – Voyager Hotels (previously VP Corporate Communications Orient Express Hotels)

“Excels in Representation”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa as she has represented a number of our partners over the years. She has consistently proven herself to excel in representation (an area where mediocrity is otherwise rather common). Her work as an ambassador and occasional mediator has undoubtedly driven exposure, growth and value for her clients and has built and enhanced relationships.”

Oliver Evans, Product & Commercial Director – Scott Dunn

“Knows all the right people to get results”

“I have worked very closely with Lisa for, what must be, over 20 years – throughout her time at Kerzner and Per Aquum. Lisa is a fantastic person to deal with both professionally and personally: she is a consummate professional; she understands what you are trying to achieve: she actually delivers (which is quite rare); and always gets back to you quickly. She is also great fun to deal with and that is part of her charm. Lisa knows ‘everyone who is anyone’ in Luxury Travel and her networking skills are exceptional. The hardest part for a hotel, new or old, looking to expand their sales network is often just getting through the door; which is where Lisa is so valuable. She is so highly thought of in the ‘business’ and so if you are looking for someone who really knows what they are doing, plus knows all the right people to get results, then look no further. I would employ her in a heartbeat!”
