In her new role Lisa will play a pivotal role in shaping Fort’s people strategy, develop initiatives to enhance employee engagement, establish systems for supporting career growth and employee development. Her position will also include continuing to cultivate culture, workplace enrichment and Fort’s CSR offering.
With a strong focus on inclusivity and ensuring every voice is heard, Lisa has committed to meeting every single member of the organisation and recently travelled to Alderney to meet the wider team.
Graham McCormack, CEO of Fort, said: “Lisa brings a wide variety of experience to her new role and a deep understanding of people and how best to support them in the workplace. We can’t wait for her to bring her expertise to our team.
“At Fort, it’s important for us to invest in our people and Lisa’s appointment will provide our team with the best opportunities for growth, career development and support in their day-to-day working lives.’

“There are many members of the Fort team who have been long serving which is a testament to the company’s investment in its people. With our brand refresh and refurbished office spaces, I’m excited to get started on expanding and enhancing our people focus.”
