Edinburgh born entrepreneur, Fraser Doherty, 19, has been unveiled as the first guest speaker who will relaunch the popular “My Life…” Dining Club hosted by the Sunday Brunch Club.  Offering guests the chance to hear engaging talks from a variety of people who have achieved success in their field, “My Life...in Jam” promises to be an inspiring evening as Doherty discusses everything from his company’s humble beginnings to his planned international expansion.

The Sunday Brunch Club, Edinburgh’s leading social and activities network, will host the dinner in the exclusive Howard Hotel on Saturday 18th October where Doherty, from Davidson Main’s, will reveal many of the secrets behind his phenomenal success.

Doherty, owner of SuperJam, started his career aged just 14 making jam using his grandmother’s secret recipe and selling it at farmers’ markets. Five years on and the company boasts a turnover of around £500,000 and supplies most major UK supermarkets, including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose.

Doherty will also talk about SuperJam Tea Parties, a charitable initiative he launched last year to offer older people the chance to get out of the house, meet new people and enjoy good food and entertainment. On 1st October, at Meadowbank, Doherty launched the first of 100 tea parties that SuperJam will host in support of International Older Peoples’ Week.

As well as the opportunity to meet Doherty, guests will enjoy a sumptuous dinner at one of Scotland's finest five-star boutique hotels including a glass of wine, petit fours and coffee. Between courses, guests will rotate to offer further opportunities to meet new people or network.

The Sunday Brunch Club organises a wide variety of events ranging from theatre trips and sports clubs to hill walking and dinner events.
