Sarah Davenport

Sarah joined XSEM in January 2016 and has spent the past decade building a strong and loyal client base through trusted relationships, strategic account development and a deep understanding of client needs. As Head of Business Development, she plays a pivotal role in driving growth across the business.

Working closely with clients and colleagues alike, Sarah supports the development of programmes spanning incentive schemes, conferences, brand activations and golf events. Her focus is not only on creating new opportunities but also on nurturing long-term partnerships that continue to evolve and deliver results over time.

What motivates Sarah most is the people she works with. Having started her career within the building industry, she maintains a strong connection to the sector and values the relationships she has built over the years. She is passionate about helping clients strengthen connections within their own businesses, whether through reward programmes, events or strategic engagement initiatives. Her combination of commercial expertise, relationship-building skills and genuine enthusiasm for client success has made her a valued leader within the XSEM team.

Outside of XSEM

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, often accompanied by a glass of fizz and good conversation. She has a passion for travelling and loves exploring new destinations around the world, an interest that fits naturally with her role and curiosity about people and places. When she is closer to home, Sarah can usually be found out walking her golden retriever, Poppy, enjoying the outdoors and taking time to recharge.
