Slimming World is the most advanced slimming organisation in the UK. It was founded in 1969 by Margaret Miles-Bramwell, who remains the driving force behind the company to this day. With the experience of a lifetime’s weight problem, it is her enthusiasm and unique vision that has made the Company so successful.
There are now over 13,000 groups held weekly on a nationwide basis via a network of more than 4,000 Slimming World trained Consultants. We welcome 800,000 members to our groups weekly.
Slimming World Consultants receive specific training in diet and nutrition and the role of physical activity in weight control. The highly developed training focuses on facilitating behaviour change in a group environment, acknowledged by experts as being the most effective way to support long-term weight management.
Slimming World founder and Chairman, Margaret Miles-Bramwell was honoured with an OBE in the 2009 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for services to the community in Derbyshire and to the field of weight management. Margaret was also awarded an Honorary Degree of Master of the University from the University of Derby in 2010, recognising her remarkable achievement in founding and establishing a Derbyshire company which has contributed to the improved health, happiness and well-being of large numbers of people in the region and nationally.
