Mallorca - Slimming World Founder and Chairman, Margaret Whittaker, recently received an Honorary Degree of Master of the University from the University ofDerby. This award recognises Margaret's remarkable achievement in founding and establishing a Derbyshire company, which has been able to contribute to the improved health, happiness and well being of a large number of people.
Margaret was the adopted daughter of a mining family, left school and was married at just 16 years of age. She had been an excellent student with ambitions to study medicine, but fate had something else in mind for her.
At the age of only 21, Margaret started Slimming World from her home in Derbyshire after struggling with her one weight for years and decided for herself an entirely different approach to weight loss, by banishing hunger and guilt and by helping raise self esteem.
Even today, Margaret continues to play a key role in Slimming World's success and the company has invested tens of thousands of pounds into research of weight management.
She also shows deep concern for her staff and has always recognised the importance of investment in employee well-being. Staff at the company's head office benefit from free fruit, a subsidised restaurant that prepares healthy meals and a free gym.
Here on the island, Margaret is better known for her commercial activities, especially Mood at Costa den Blanes, amongst many others, and she carries out many fund raising activities both here in Mallorca and further a field.
This Honorary Degree of Master of the University coming so soon after the OBE Margaret says that she feels truly humbled, but at the same time wanted to salute all the Slimming World Consultants, staff and members everywhere who have made this very special club what it is.
