Rosie Davenport

Rosie Davenport has spent over 25 years in the drinks industry, starting as a journalist and editor before moving into sustainability strategy. As former group editor of Harpers Wine & Spirit and Drinks Retailing, she brings significant trade knowledge - the commercial realities, what outstanding retailing looks like, and the qualities that separate the best buyers from the rest. She is also an experienced industry judge. 

In 2020, she founded Impact Focus: a specialist sustainability consultancy for food, drink and hospitality companies. The team works with brands, producers and retailers across strategy, B Corp certification, EcoVadis, reporting and communications, helping businesses build a sustainability programme that creates commercial advantage, stands up to scrutiny and can be communicated with credibility. 

Rosie joins the Drinks Buyers Awards as Super Judge, and Impact Focus is proud to sponsor the Sustainable Drinks Buyer category - recognising the buyers making sustainability central to their purchasing decisions.
