SuperJam was created by Scottish jam-maker Fraser Doherty, after being taught to make jam using his Gran’s secret recipes at the age of fourteen

Fraser started making jam for fêtes and fares at the tender age of 14, but in 2007 he turned his jam-making into a fully-fledged business venture after securing a deal with Waitrose to stock his range.
Since appearing on our first Startups 100 list in 2008, Fraser has taken an active role in enterprise promotion and is a regular on the entrepreneurs’ speaker circuit. Not content with becoming the youngest person ever to become a supermarket stockist, he also launched a philanthropic arm to the company, hosting tea parties for housebound elderly people. This year also saw the launch of The SuperJam Cookbook featuring an interesting selection of jam-related recipes.
