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 and aims to bring agility and a fresh approach to procurement and category management.
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.
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.
