Regarded as “One of the UK’s leading motivational speakers”, Fraser Doherty started his incredible business career at the age of just fourteen. After being taught how to make jam in his Grandmother’s kitchen in Scotland, he came up with a way of making jam 100% from fruit. At sixteen, he presented his brand, SuperJam, to Waitrose and went on to become the youngest ever supplier to a major supermarket.
SuperJam has since grown into a company that has sold many millions of jars through thousands of supermarkets around the world. As well as being a commercial success, the business has invested in successful charitable projects – running hundreds of free tea parties for the elderly in Europe, Korea and Australia and setting up community beehives in the UK and Korea.
SuperJam is exhibited in the National Museum of Scotland as an ‘Iconic Scottish Brand’, has won over 20 innovation awards and has been the subject of several TV documentaries.

“Fraser is a compelling speaker and exciting entrepreneur.” Director – Return on Marketing Investment
“I recently attended a talk by Fraser Doherty describing his experiences as an entrepreneur creating the SuperJam brand. I found Fraser’s story (and indeed Fraser himself) to be really inspiring. Fraser has taken a clear, simple idea and together with great passion and determination has created something really distinctive in the market place. He didn’t have huge resources to get his idea off the ground – but he did have a persuasive selling story to bring others along on the journey with him. Just as importantly, he hasn’t forgotten where it all started and has made an ongoing commitment to give something back to the community. Altogether a very inspiring story….” Vice President Marketing & Innovation
“I never thought I could learn so much from someone so young.” Managing Director,
“Fraser is an incredibly grounded young man, given what he has achieved so far. His presentation style is quite unique. Whilst he may not have the gravitas and stage presence of other entrepreneurs, Fraser is truly engaging as he wins you over with his charming and passionate portrayal of his story. His soft-spoken and modest manner completely disarm you and make you feel that you’ve known him for ages. He’s a pleasure to listen to and proof that you can be both a good person and a good businessman.” Brand Manager
