If you haven't yet been to an Arena Event before, take a look at our short video from our 'Creating A Sustainable Future for Foodservice' event back in the Summer. This event explored how businesses and individuals are making a difference to ESG in foodservice and hospitality and it’s supply chain and how they are implementing change and leading the way in sustainable ways of operating to build a better world.

We are delighted to welcome Samantha Davis, Group Procurement and Supply Chain Director, Foodbuy Group to our Arena Committee. Samantha has had a diverse career in procurement, starting at Safeway Plc and moving to The Restaurant Group Plc, where she led food and non-food procurement and later logistics.

Samantha has been a leader at CH&CO for seven years, during which she quickly advanced from Senior Category Manager to Group Procurement & Supply Chain Director. In this role, she oversaw all procurement across the diverse hospitality and catering business, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and fostering collaborative partnerships internally and with clients and member partners.

As Group Procurement & Supply Chain Director, Samantha leads the integration of CH&CO into the Foodbuy supply chain. She joined Foodbuy following the CH&CO acquisition by Compass Group UK & Ireland.

Outside of work, Samantha has recently qualified as an open-water scuba diver and looks forward to incorporating this skill into her holidays with her two daughters. In her leisure time away from diving, Samantha enjoys coaching her daughter’s netball team.
