Tributes after death of Slimming World founder, 76
An entrepreneur who grew the firm Slimming World from a single weight loss group to a network of more than 3,500 consultants has died.
Margaret Miles-Bramwell started the business in 1969 in Alfreton, Derbyshire, where the firm today employs 400 staff at its headquarters.
Mrs Miles-Bramwell died on Sunday morning at her Mallorca home surrounded by family, the firm said in a statement.
It added: "She leaves the world a healthier place".
Mrs Miles-Bramwell, 76, from Nottingham, was awarded an OBE in 2009 for her services to the health of the British public.
She was a "loving and much-loved" daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, said Slimming World.
Managing director Lisa Salmon said: "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."
