About

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.

Fraser was commended by the Prime Minister at Downing Street, by HRH Prince Charles and was awarded an MBE for services to business by HM the Queen. He has shared his incredible story at more than 500+ conferences in 27 countries around the world, as well as in his best-selling books SuperBusiness - published in UK, US, Australia, Korea and Japan and The SuperJam Cookbook.

Fraser’s more recent ventures include co-founding the beer club Beer52, which has become the UK’s largest independent beer retailer with over 100,000 registered customers, and No. 1 craft beer and spirits magazine Ferment. He has also founded Envelope Coffee, which delivers fresh and ethically sourced roasted coffee to your letterbox.

He regularly lectures Entrepreneurship at universities around the world, including London Met. where he is their youngest ever Visiting Professor.

Speech Topics

Fraser Doherty has shared his incredible story through over 300 speeches, in 17 countries around the world. For multinationals such as Kraft Foods, IBM, Accenture and KPMG, as well as financial institutions including Barclays and RBS.

He has spoken at leading universities such as Columbia in New York, the London School of Economics and Moscow State University. He's been invited to speak at The Scottish Parliament, the Bank of England, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development and the Institute of Directors.

Testimonials

The day went very well, and this was to a large extent because of Fraser. His talks were spot on in terms of content, values imparted, humour and length. I always hear when people are not impressed but very rarely when they are; apart from this year when even the most challenging parent made a point of saying he was impressed! Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to Fraser. I know of one child who has spent the last day making jam with his granny!
