Thursday 10th October

Keynote Speakers: Will Fraser 

Will joined the Saracens Academy in 2005 aged just 14. A member of the famed ‘Class of ’08’ alongside the likes of Owen Farrell & Jackson Wray, he went on to make 83 appearances for the club and was a part of the team during the 2015/16 European & Premiership Double. After a glittering playing career, he was forced to retire from playing in 2017 following a neck injury. Since his retirement, Will has become the Director of The Saracens Way. The Saracens Way looks at how Saracens have gone from a chronically underachieving organisation to 3 time European and 5 time Premiership Champions and how everything that has created that change is hugely transferrable into any organisation.
