Fanfare please! We’re so proud to announce that our founder and chair, Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, has been honoured in the prestigious Top 100 Influential People Awards 2025.
This hugely deserved accolade is in recognition of Margaret’s unwavering commitment to helping people lose weight and live healthier, happier lives.
Margaret says: “I’m truly honoured to be recognised in this way. Having struggled with my own weight from a young age, I was aware of the lack of support available, and I was left feeling lectured to, judged and humiliated whenever I tried to seek help. I knew there had to be a better way to help people like me.
I know how it feels to be burdened with your weight – not only the physical weight, but the burden of shame and guilt, too. I built Slimming World to do more than just support people to lose weight. It’s a place of compassion and empathy which empowers members and helps them grow in confidence and believe in themselves again.
This recognition is not just for me, but for the thousands of dedicated Slimming World Consultants across the UK and Ireland who know exactly how members feel, and support them 24/7.”
Margaret hopes that with this recognition, she’ll reach more people with her message that if they’re looking to lose weight this January, they don’t need to resort to weight loss injections. Instead, Slimming World – through our welcoming, confidence-building groups and flexible digital service – offers a healthy and long-lasting alternative that’s helped millions of people successfully lose weight and maintain it for good.
