Every Little Helps...

It isn't a very good photo but this is SuperJam on the shelves of Tesco. Britain's biggest supermarket chain started stocking the range this week, which is really very exciting.

There has been a whole heap of press coverage over the past few days, which you may have seen. I was on GMTV bright and early this morning, for example, and shared the SuperJam story with (apparently) six million viewers! I'm going to be very busy over the next few weeks so I will keep you updated. I'm visiting the following Tesco Extra stores over the coming days if you fancy popping in to say hello and having a sample of SuperJam:

Saturday 27th October: Tesco Extra Newcastle Upon Tyne
Sunday 28th October: Tesco Extra St Rollox, Glasgow (near Springburn)
Monday 29th October: Tesco Extra Perth
Tuesday 30th October: Tesco Extra Stirling

Over and out,

Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award

As reported in today's Edinburgh Evening News , SuperJam has been named 'one of the country's best start-up companies' after being shortlisted in the Startups Business of The Year Awards.

I am up for the "Young Entrepreneur of The Year" category, alongside three other very interesting start-up companies. There are sixty-two companies going along to the 'awards luncheon' so I am looking forward to chatting with a wide variety of entrepreneurs about how they started their businesses.

A few of the other finalists' businesses that I think are cool are Plum Baby (a range of organic 'super foods' for babies, Boudiche (an Edinburgh lingerie boutique) and Mrs Massey's (a range of homemade sauces, chutneys and spicy rubs).

I'll let you know how I get on...

SuperJam online shop launches!

Although SuperJam is availiable in all Waitrose stores across the country, we receive dozens of emails every week from people who aren't able to get their hands on our fruit spreads. As a result, we've decided to set up an online shop so that anyone in the EU can order SuperJam online for delivery within a couple of days.

We might start selling a few other products in the store that we think go well with the SuperJam ethos so feel free to suggest other small food companies whose products you love.

You can get to the shop here.

Launch of Visit Scotland Competition

The other day, we went along to Binning Woods in East Lothian to do a photo shoot (oh, the glamour) for the 'Autumn Gold' competition that we're running with Visit Scotland. After much hilarity, we took a few nice photos showing me enjoying the Autumn scenery, walking through the forest with a pot of jam.

Feel free to enter the competition here for your chance to win a holiday at Craigatin House in Perthshire. Good Luck!
