A WOMAN who helps Maldon slim down was invited to an exclusive 50th anniversary event.

Five hundred weight-loss consultants across the UK attended Slimming World’s milestone event where they got to meet founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell.

Kay Driscoll, a consultant for the Mayland and Burnham groups, was one of six Essex slimmers who got to attend.

Kay became a consultant after graduating from the Slimming World Academy in 2013 and lost a whopping 7.5 stone herself as a member.

She said: “It was a real honour to attend the special day in Nottingham and I was so delighted to get a place.

“The day itself was so inspirational from start to finish.

“To have had the opportunity to meet Margaret and listen to her inspirational story was an experience I will never forget.”
