In 1997, Slimming World qualified for the Investors in People Award, an award that has been retained ever since. And in 2015, Slimming World became the first weight management organisation to achieve a Gold Investors in People award, recognising the highest standards of people development and leadership. Unlike many companies, our main annual investment is not in marketing. Our investment is in training great people to deliver a service to members that's second-to-none.
