Gillian was working as a manager in the health and fitness industry when she joined
Slimming World as a member in 2004. After losing over 3½ stones, she was inspired
to become a Consultant and open her very own group, which she ran in addition to
her full-time job. In 2011, Gillian moved into the role of District Manager and now leads
a team of managers and Consultants, helping thousands of members in groups all
over east Scotland achieve their weight loss dreams each year.
“Being a District Manager for Slimming World is a dream for me, in so many ways.
I’m working for a supportive company whose culture and methods I love, I’m drawing on
all my senior management experience – and I’m making a genuine difference to thousands
of members’ health and happiness. It’s a varied, flexible role – so one day I’ll be running a
recruitment event or a training session for my team and the next I’ll be on the road visiting
local groups or heading down to our Head Office in Derbyshire. The expectations of me as
a District Manager are high. It’s a challenging role and I work incredibly hard – but it’s so
fulfilling and I’m always smiling. Supporting Consultants to run a flourishing business –
one that changes and even saves lives – is everything I’ve ever wanted in a leadership role.”
