Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, the founder of the popular weight loss organization Slimming World, has passed away at the age of 76. Miles-Bramwell, who leaves behind a legacy of helping millions lose weight and improve their health, founded Slimming World over five decades ago. The company has grown from a single church hall meeting in 1969 to a global authority in weight management.
The founder of Slimming World , Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE , has died at the age of 76. Margaret, a much-loved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, owned several businesses in the UK and abroad, including the Derbyshire-headquartered Slimming World . She founded the firm, which helps people across the UK to lose weight, over five decades ago and leaves the world 'a healthier place', a spokesperson for the company said.
Margaret saw the Slimming World name grow from a single group held in a church hall in Alfreton, Derbyshire, in 1969 to the global authority in weight management that it is today. Born in April 1948 and brought up in South Normanton, Derbyshire, Margaret touched the hearts and changed the lives of millions of people, including all of Slimming World’s consultants and staff who will feel her loss deeply. The business leader had a home in Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire. A statement from Slimming World reads: 'We’re heartbroken to share the news that Slimming World’s beloved founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE passed away this morning surrounded by family. 'Right now, our thoughts are with Margaret’s family – her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We take comfort, as we’re sure they do, in the hope that Margaret is now reunited with her beloved husband, Tony, who passed away in 2021.' Slimming World’s managing director, Lisa Salmon, added to the tributes, saying: 'Margaret steered her ship in the way she lived her life – with a generous spirit, passionate conviction, a wicked (and rebellious!) sense of humour and a fierce belief in doing the right thing. Our job now is to continue to keep her legacy alive by doing the very same thing.” Slimming World added that Margaret had taken 'great care' to ensure that plans are in place to keep the company safe and sound, knowing that she might not always be around to steer it, so that the business will continue to operate just as it always has
