Speaker Profile

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 Doherty has been commended by the Prime Minister at Downing Street, by HRH Prince Charles and was recently awarded a medal (MBE) for services to business by The Queen. He has shared his incredible story at more than 600 conferences in 27 countries around the world, as well as in his best-selling book SuperBusiness - published in UK, US, Australia, Korea and Japan.

Fraser travels 365 days a year, living nowhere permanently and without a fixed office. He has visited over 50 countries. He runs his company remotely - a true example of a pioneer of virtual working and cloud solutions. He is one of the UK's youngest MBA graduates and regularly lectures in Entrepreneurship at universities around the world, including London Metropolitan where he is their youngest ever Visiting Professor.
