Meet The Team

Lisa Hawksby | Managing Director

Lisa has worked at Total since April 2015. Total was founded by Lisa’s father Paul. Together they transformed Total from a lead generation business to a successful private training provider.

Lisa has worked in the industry for 16 years, beginning her career as an Assessor and has worked for national and regional companies in quality and director roles.

Lisa achieved 4 GCSE’s not including maths then went to college followed by university to study a Social Work Degree. This was drilled into Lisa at school and college. She felt this was the only option available. It didn’t suit her learning style or aspirations. Lisa then worked in retail and completed work-based qualifications to progress to where she is today.

Lisa is extremely passionate about training, motivating and inspiring others.
