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.

Margaret Miles-Bramwell.With the experience of a lifetime's weight problem, it is her enthusiasm and unique vision that has made the Company so successful.

In over 36 years, over 5 million slimmers have attended our groups and lost a total of 60 million pounds.

There are now over 5,500 groups held weekly on a nationwide basis via a network of 2,500 Slimming World trained Consultants.

In 1997, Slimming World became the first slimming organisation to qualify for the Investors in People Award. The award was renewed in 2006.

SMILES, Slimming World's very own charity, was born in 1997. SMILES stands for SLIMMERS MAKING IT a LITTLE EASIER for SOMEONE, and each year the SMILES committee chooses a special charity to benefit from our Consultants' and members' amazing generosity. You can read more about SMILES here...

During January 1998, Slimming World magazine was launched and sold in-house to members. It was a runaway success and the magazine went on to newsstands right across the country in January 1999 where it immediately became a leading diet magazine with sales in excess of 260,000.
