WEIGHT-LOSS expert Julie Ferris is celebrating after being recognised for the exceptional work she does to support people in Camelford achieve their dream weight.

She was one of around 100 high-achieving team developers from across the UK and Ireland invited to Slimming World’s ‘Team Developer Thank You Day’, at the organisation’s brand new head office building in Derbyshire.

Julie, a consultant for the Camelford Slimming World groups, was invited to the event after being recognised by the company as a leading team developer. This means that as well as running her own weight-loss group, she is doing an outstanding job of supporting other consultants in North Cornwall to ensure excellent service to slimmer’s right across the area.

As part of the day, Julie, who became a consultant after she, graduated from the Slimming World Academy in 2012 was invited to discuss best practice and share her tips on delivering a first-class weight-management service.

Julie said: “It was a real honour to be invited to the special day at Slimming World HQ! The day itself was so inspirational from start to finish. To have had the opportunity to meet and share ideas with other top-performing consultants and managers as well as hear from someone as motivational as Michael was an experience I’ll never forget. I left Derbyshire brimming with ideas and raring to get home, and there’s no doubt the insight will enable me to improve the support I give to other consultants in the area, so that anyone who attends Slimming World in Camelford, including the members who attend my Slimming World group each week, get the very best possible service and support to achieve their weight-loss dreams. It’s great to be able to tell people in Camelford that they have some of the best Slimming World groups in the UK and Ireland on their doorstep.

“Being recognised isn’t just a triumph for me but also for the 250 members and eight consultants in the North Cornwall groups. They’re the ones who make each group the success it is, with their fabulous energy, the warm welcome they give to new members and the wonderful compassionate support they show to each other every week.”
